- Drag queens used to be this weird, eccentric segment of society that we looked at and dismissed with the wave of a hand or disgusted shake of the head.
- Now drag queens have been a major issue in the 2022 midterm election.
- There is an undeniable effort to put drag queens in front of young children and try to sexualize them, and the sad fact is that some parents are OK with this. But it’s become a potent political issue with parents who want their children to be taught the fundamentals in school, not issues dealing with sexuality and gender.
- “This is a quite explicit effort to sexualize younger and younger children,” Dr. Jay Richards, director of the DeVos Center at the Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is, in short, an attempt, as a part of gender ideology, to ‘queer’ the most important sexual boundary—between adults and children. Gender ideologues have made a fatal strategic error by going after children in this most blatant possible way, and they should not be surprised at the pushback by not only conservatives, but by anyone else who has retained a modicum of basic decency.”
