Why not indeed? There is nothing salacious about reading a story to kids. Schools and libraries should be grateful for properly vetted volunteers to kid-friendly events, no matter their occupation.

Sasha Grey Just Defended Herself For Reading To Children On 'The View' (VIDEO)

The porn star-turned-actress caused waves by visiting a Los Angeles-area elementary school and reading to Compton childrenlast week.

When asked whether she thought the school did anything wrong, Grey said:

"Honestly, I don't think so, no. Should they have informed the parents? Yes, but I think they should inform the parents whenever they have a guest speaker."
Look, back in the day when Milton Berle or Jonathan Winters dressed up like a woman, it was for fun. These days, there is a lot of grooming going on with drag queens, transgender or the like. Responsible adults realize this and that is why we protest such happenings

What if DQSH is just for fun, and you're spreading malicious gossip?

Yes, I agree one should not defame another with lies. It is extremely sinful. However, I would still take the prison sentence because this drag queen reading to young children is more perverted in nature these days. So like I said in another post, years ago Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Flip Wilson did it for comedy and fun - it's a very thin line as to whether it's fun now or grooming and confusing children. I would error on the safe side and never allow it to happen with young children. If you want to allow this stuff for fun in high school, knock yourself out.

The defamatory statements in the OP were false, lies, not true, made-up. Why would spreading lies be a hill you want to go to jail defending?

How is a man in a dress more sexual than a woman in a dress?

When I see a man in a dress I don’t think of sex but I would with a woman.

What can we conclude from that?
Well….typically dresses are for women and a man wearing a dress is using a fetish… maybe?

Actually! I don’t know. I’m just rambling.

To show objection to the whole situation of allowing drag queens to read to young children. And to show others that this is a fight worth fighting because it's only going to get worse if society doesn't take a stand against this kind of obscenity.

As a Scottish man in a kilt, I would disagree.

It is like they are both outside the cultural norm.
The Kilt is normal in Scotland...or at least it was. I don't know much about Scottish or British culture.

EXACTLY!

Children are impressionable. They don't need to know about sexuality at that young age.

Let them decide when they are older.

It is much more rare these days from what I saw on my visits.

Never been to Scotland, but been to other places in the British Isles.

Thanks for the response :)

IF it obeys library rules, I certainly don't care.
I understand that at least some of his events were not deemed eligible for library endorsement, but they could take place at libraries like other private events.

Fair enough.

You're right though. If the library didn't want to endorse him, that's their right.

Rules are rules.
