Drag Queens Are Not For Kids

Indeed we live in strange and frightening times. The following header to an article in the Brisbane Times appeared on January 12th 2020:

Young LNP club slammed over protest video shaming drag queens


The article continued:
A group of protesters from the University of Queensland's Liberal National Club have been slammed after a video shaming two Brisbane drag queens emerged on social media. The president of UQ's Liberal National Club, Wilson Gavin, is seen chanting "drag queens are not for kids" alongside other protesters at a public event at the Brisbane Square Library on Sunday.
The two drag queens went by the names Johnny Valkyrie and Diamond Good-rim. The latter's surname is interesting as rimming is a sexual practice involving the licking or kissing of the anus. Later in the article, we learn about who organised the event:

Rainbow Families Queensland, which organised the "drag queen storytime" event, issued a statement apologising to affected families after children were left feeling unsafe. 
"Sadly a group of people disrupted the event towards the end, chanting homophobic chants and causing distress to the children and parents attending," the statement read. 
"Drag queen storytime is a highly successful event that has been held four times in Brisbane over the past two years, inspired by similar events currently being held in public libraries across the world. 
"Love makes a family. There’s no room for hate in our hearts."
There's that word again: homophobic. It's as widely misused as that other popular label: anti-semitic. What was homophobic about the chant? In fact, the Wilson Gavin referred to earlier as being part of the protest is a self-confessed gay who opposed gay marriage during the recent referendum. Tragically, Gavin in now dead.

I heard about his death by apparent suicide while listening to the radio yesterday and today I looked for more information in the Brisbane Times. Oddly, there was no mention of his death at all, at least none that I could find. This was odd given that the protest had attracted so much coverage in this newspaper. I had to go to a UK newspaper to learn more. Here is the header to the article that I found:

Young Liberal at the centre of 'drag queens are not for kids' viral video is found dead in a suspected suicide - as the library performer sends a heartfelt message to his family


It was through this article that I learned that Wilson Gavin was gay. Here is an excerpt from the article:
Mr Gavin, a gay man, previously made the news in 2017 for opposing same sex marriage. The then 19-year-old fronted a 'You Can Say No' rally, saying: 'I support what marriage really is and I'm gay.' 
There are no details about the suicide but it would seem that the barrage of criticism directed at this man in the wake of the protest was too much for him to bear. Here is a typical Twitter tweet:


Interesting choice of words. It's disgusting that somebody challenges a drag queen with a surname referring to anus-licking as he promotes "inappropriate sexualisation & gender fluid ideology" to small children via storytelling. Such is the effectiveness of the LGBTIQA+ propaganda that even a gay person who objects to this will be labelled "homophobic".

It is high time that people realised that the LGBTIQA+ agenda is well-funded and does not have the interests of gay and lesbian people at heart. Anyone who opposes this agenda will be pilloried and possibly sacked from his or her job for engaging in hate speech. Indeed we live in strange and frightening times.

What is the LGBTIQA+ agenda? Watch this video:
