On my only post on this thread, I mentioned me and the better half deliberately took our young kids to a gay party to introduce them to people with different relationships to our own and show them that we where OK with it. We wanted our kids to judge people on their merits, not their sexual preferences, race or colour. ( similar to the drag queens reading in schools really )
Seems to have worked as I was at my now young adult sons place earlier in the week and he had a few friends over. His friends are generally arty, alternative types who record music digitally, posting it on the web and performing in clubs in the city on the weekends. One of his friends is a guy that wants to be a girl or perhaps it was the other way around. Cant remember and don't really care. He / she is a talented young photographer who is already travelling OS on regular occasions as the official photographer for International rap musicians on tour. Neutrally dressed, not in your face, just a nice, creative, transgender young person that I,m happy to have my son hanging around with.
As I said earlier, the young ones have already put this issue to bed and moved on. Once us older generation fall off our perches it wont be " a thing."

This is my point.
You don't have to camp it up and prance around in womens clothing to show the world your sexual orientation and pretend you're a woman, when you're really sexually attracted to men, who like their boyfriends to look like women. Sheesh.
Just be yourself, fgs, live you life, do something meaningful with your life instead of brainwashing children.
Young ppl will soon enough explore their own sexuality.

I agree with you on this bit icy. My dislike for P.C.B.S. is well known on the boards and I haven't got much time for the rainbow flag waving, placard shouting, look at me crowd that make up a small minority of the LGBTXYZ community. ( With one exception explained later )
I DO believe that some people are wired differently to the majority, with naturally occurring hormone balances that are different to heterosexuals. etc. This extends to genuine intersex individuals and those whose body type does not match their mental / sexual mind state ( gay / transgener ). For these people their sexual preferences, thought processes and lifestyles are not a choice, it is hard wired. There are others who for what ever reason choose the bi, gay, queer, trans lifestyle. Their life, their choice, none of my business and its not affecting me so I just don't care.
These people I simply judge, accept / reject based on who they are, not what their sexual orientation is. Its a bit like a persons religion really. You can believe in the traditional Christian faith, Muslim faith or little green men for all I care. That is something deeply personal for you and I respect your choices even if they are different to mine. The problem comes in when religious people try to convert me to their religion. That is when I start to get uneasy.
I suspect that is what icy is eluding to with trannnies in schools.
Now for the kicker mentioned in the first paragraph. Genuinely gay & intersex people have long been discriminated against. In the past, many gays and intersex individuals have chosen to remain single and to an extent socially isolated throughout their lives, rather than have gay partners. This struggle must be very difficult. To enact a change in social attitudes whether it is acceptance of different sexuality or indigenous rights, it often takes placard waving and lots of shouting by an extremist element.
Although, I,m a bit uncomfortable with the idea, because like icy, I believe schools should be neutral places that teach academia, rather than being used as a platform for religious or social engineering. Within reason, let the social battles occur in the broader society.

Like libraries during school holidays? The subject of this topic.

I don't think they were there to camp it up or show their sexual orientation. I believe they were there to read stories to kids.
Children love a bit of glitz and colour but I doubt the children cared what was under the clothing.
The point being missed is that the event was not simply a story reading, it was a performance. As you say Cezm, children love a bit of glitz and colour; they don't care what is under the clothing. If the readers had been dressed as clowns nobody would have complained.

Clowns belong in circuses and Drag Queens belong in Adult revues.

Well actually some clowns visit sick children in hospital and entertain them at birthday parties. And some drag queens read to children in libraries. Where they belong is a matter of opinion. It's a shame we all can't recognise the potential good in these people, rather than be stuck on the perceived bad.
"Imagine being a sick kid in hospital, in need of a friend to play, laugh and smile with – that’s the magic of Clown Doctors!
Clown Doctors are medical clowns – highly trained, professional performers who spread ‘doses’ of fun and laughter throughout the hospital, working to uplift sick kids."
It's been around for as long as humans have walked the earth. It's accepted, but not as a social norm. But that's not the point. Homosexuals are not necessarily into child sex.
There are certain organisations world-wide who take pleasure in underage and child sex, and in whole interests it is to make this acceptable and to keep up a constant stream of accessible children.
They're not dirty scumbags hiding in back alleys opening their raincoats or offering boiled lollies to little kids, either. They are rich and powerful.
Jeffery Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislane Maxwell, and a British high-ranking royal would be a case in point.
So they fund schools and other educational facilities like:
NEPTUNE, N.J. – Twelve New Jersey schools will begin piloting a new LGBTQ-focused curriculum this month, the first wave of a requirement that will soon be mandated across the state.
And State Libraries are encouraged to engage organistaions like Rainbow Families Queensland to introduce transgender performances like the one currently in discussion. Rate-payer funded, too. Why not?
All very innocent, right?
Yeah sure, if you want your children sexualised and accepting of "anything goes".

I get where you are coming from, but I can't identify with your conclusions. Your belief that it will get our children sexualised and accepting of "anything goes" is from within you. I would love to know what the children think.
