As ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ kicked off across the US (and in parts of the UK) to help celebrate LGBT pride month in February, a drag queen strongly questioned the values of parents who take their children to these events.
Kitty Demure (KD), a gay man who dresses in drag, asked parents to question themselves as to why they’d want to expose their child to such an adult world. ‘What … has a drag queen ever done to make you have so much respect for them and admire them so much, other than put on makeup and jump on the floor and writhe around and do sexual things on stage?’ The video, viewed over 300,000 times, was also widely circulated on social media.
KD continued: ‘Would you want a stripper or a porn star to influence your child? There is a lot of filth that goes on, a lot of sexual stuff that goes on, and backstage there’s a lot of nudity, sex, and drugs. To actually get [children] involved in drag is extremely, extremely irresponsible.’
