Agreed.. quite an impressionable age - whislt i'm all for inclusion and open mindedness, i just think that's a little bit young to be pushing it in their faces and confusing them

F#ck me, are you kidding? My daughters are 6 & 8, ridiculous age to be deliberately exposed to this sort of thing.

I would be livid.

Kids will only make it a big deal if the adults around them do.

What’s your thoughts on lesbians who dress very butchy in front of kids?

Bit of a difference between lesbians and drag queens.. drag queens traditionally are quite umm "flamboyant" and dress "loud"

They are, but as I said If done well can be just fine. Imo

Why do it though? What is to be gained?

A lesbian in a pants suit is one thing, a bloke dressed up like he's off to "Broken Heeeel" is another thing, would you agree?

No idea.

I'd sooner be present if my young-un was exposed to a drag queen so I could answer the questions that they felt a need to ask.

It doesn't make me feel comfortable, and as inclusive/accepting/open minded as i am and i encourage my children to be, I wouldn't feel comfortable with them being exposed to that at such a young age.

Just me.

I don’t and hope it doesn’t become a part of the school curriculum or anything. But a one of thing and if the parents are there then zero issue on my part. I wouldn’t take my kids as I’d make sure it’s on a day when they are with their mum

I can only assume its being run by a leftist group.
Labor wanted to bring gender neutral into kindys/primary schools etc, so we would become a genderless society.
******* joke.

I may have missed something earlier in the interview on MMM this morning, I know it is a festival type thing around the Festival Centre and along Nth Terrace but have schools been taking kids to events this week?

The reason I ask is if not then only those parents who see no problem with it would take their kids to be read to by a Drag Queen and those that do could move along and check out some other stuff...

However if schools were taking kids to the festival and parents weren't aware then I can see why some would be a bit upset. As there would be some parents who don't think it is age appropriate...

I don't reckon it would really bother me too much, provided the content of the book was appropriate, that would be more of a concern that who was reading it...

Did you ever see the bloke who was under the Humphrey B Bear costume.
Now that was a shock for the 9yo St Bridgits student in the late 60's

Seem to ignore the fact that kids will only attend if their parents consent/take them, if parents don't then play on, no one is forcing it down their throat.

For want of a better phrase...

Did you ever meet the lass who had her hand stuffed up Winky Dink's arse?

... not yet.

Its just another part of the leftists agenda exposing the community to these alternate types. Parenting magazines with single-sex couples on the cover, "toxic masculinity" adds where the black guy is the hero and the white guy is the offender, the all female Ocean's 8 movie, or cross dresses in public libraries.

It's all about exposing people to these alternative view points, breaking down the stereotypes that exist within our own minds. And even better if you can expose them while they are young. You don't need to retrain the minds of kids in the future if they never even learnt what a 'traditional family' looks like.

Is this good for society? In some areas I'd say yes.

There were some interesting stories going round about Fat Cat's exploits in the 80's.
