Hi @cdflibraries - how can it be at all appropriate for young, impressionable children to sit through a story hour with a drag queen?
Drag queens are a sexist and sexualised, damaging stereotype of women who surely are not suitable for kids.

Drag Queen Story Hour was founded by Sab Samuel, AKA Aida H Dee, who is local to Cardiff.
While adults are allowed to attend events where adult humour is on offer etc, it is clear that drag queens are essentially, an adult act and not for kids.

There's been a trend as of recent, where children are becoming subject to more adult behaviours.
While reading a story is fine for kids, the sexualised outfits & appearance of drag queens, is not.
Here is Aida, looking much the same for adults (left) as for kids (right).

Again - here in the picture below, is some more adult humour which comes with the territory of drag queens.
Do you not think that children will look for drag queens online? do you not think, they will stumble upon videos of their adult performances and humour?

Here is 'Aida' organising a fundraiser for Mermaids, a 'charity' which don't hide the fact they believe children should have access to treatments & medication which risks their health and can lead them to become sterile.

Finally, please understand what you are dealing with...
...here is Aida, doling out a clear threat to a woman's livelihood, because she dared to question the suitability of drag queens for children.

Drag queens are *adult* entertainment.
They are a sexualised & sexist stereotype of women.
Contrary to what their website says - drag doesn't challenge stereotypes, rather, it reinforces them.
Please do not subject kids in Cardiff to this.
Cancel the show.
