You'll have to click the link for the article, I won't be posting the picture.

Let me quote the description of the picture though:

Quote
A Satanically clad drag queen reading to children at the Michelle Obama Library in Long Beach, California.

Judging from the audience, those are 3 year olds. Listening to an insane drag queen.

I... do not have the words to describe how incredible this is. Can I have a new country planet, please?

I know it's hard...  but sometimes when some group is strutting about with a big chip on their shoulder, just dying waiting for someone to knock it off, the best thing to do is just ignore them.

Do you think they really care about normalizing or mainstreaming drag queens to little kids or mainstream America? BTDT... Ru Paul did that in the 90's. Ship has sailed. Hell... maybe Monty Python did that in the 70's...

No. They're praying the WBC or some such shows up to protest, or some city official tries to order the library to ban the event. Then if/when someone foolishly rises to the bait, drag queens will be damn scarce on the ground in every blue city, and probably quite a few red ones, as all the libraries across the nation scramble to host their own story-time and show "solidarity".

I remember hearing about this some time ago. Is this a regular event they are doing?

I heard about that gay Jewish Nazi  this morning.  It's getting even harder to explain to somebody what satire used to be.

Who knew the Comedy Central "Frontline" piece on Clayton Bigsby was a real documentary.  I thought it was a parody when it first came out:
