The Drag Queen's Story Hour Protests
The drag queen story hour protests undeniably felt different to what I covered for this podcast before. Here, there was a stronger sense of a genuinely malevolent bigotry bubbling beneath the surfaces of what they were saying. It seemed to me as if fascist networks have been watching that mainstream ambivalence towards LGBT rights carefully and we're now happily exploiting it for their own gain. This feels really dangerous to me and I don't think it's something we can just ignore and hope it goes away. And so, you know, I think that they are trying to become more media trained and are trying to slip stories into the mainstream media.
