More and more often, our nation is becoming awash with "Drag Queen Story Hours" at public and school libraries. These, as you might guess, involve men dressed up as garishly adorned women who read LGBTQ-themed books to young children under the guise of performing a public service.
In just the past few months, such activities have occurred in places like Evansville, IN, Astoria, OR, Houston, TX, and Mobile, AL. Sadly, even the American Library Association heartily endorses the events and has a webpage dedicated to their promotion.
The obvious goal here is to convince an entire generation of children that transvestites are perfectly normal. It's an attempt to promote deviancy before most of the children in the library even know what deviancy is.

Pontiff helped organize one of these story hour events for children as young as three at the Lafayette Public Library. He made this shocking admission during a Sept. 17 meeting.
