Drag queen story hours for young children have become popular in LGBTQ and progressive circles, but many Canadians do not support the activity taking place in public schools, daycares and libraries.
This is especially the case in Quebec, where Conservative Party of Quebec leader Eric Duhaime, who is openly-gay, has come out against drag queen story hours. Several Quebec media figures, including columnists and radio hosts, have also since come out against the activity.
The discourse in Quebec on the issue differs from the rest of Canada, where the radical left and the legacy media have labeled anyone who opposes drag shows for kids as homophobic and transphobic.
True North’s Elie Cantin-Nantel spoke with Duhaime about why he opposes drag shows for kids being held in public schools, daycares and libraries.
