Reply to comment by Wowzlul in 'Drag Story Hour' protest draws passionate crowds outside Queens library by seejordan3

Hint: these men aren’t cisgender and heterosexual. I don’t care what anyone’s into, but it’s weird to say they’re straight

I'm not claiming they are. My point was that it would be no different if a cishet man decided to do this vs. a gay or bisexual one, or a trans woman, or a butch lesbian, or whoever. It's a person putting on a costume reading to children.

As long as there's no age-inappropriate sexual content (which there isn't) then there's really nothing to object to. That is, unless one finds the idea of gender-nonconforming behavior objectionable in itself.

I agree with you. I wasn't responding to your comment. I was responding to the commentor who said that "these men aren't cisgender and heterosexual." You know, the comment that's been downvoted a lot.

Yeah I gotcha. Feelings are running high right now for obvious reasons. I just wanted to set the record straight (ugh).

Wait a minute. Drag queens can't be cisgender? Since when are they all transitioning? I've known plenty of cisgender drag queens. Also, the story mentions a "drag king" which would be a woman dressed in male drag.
