• Protests at Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick libraries and public centres have targeted Drag Queen Story Time events.

What is drag?

• Drag is an art form that has been around for centuries, including during the First World War.
• Drag has evolved within gay culture, can be performed by all genders and is generally an exaggeration of gender expression.

What happens at a Drag Queen Story Time?

• Drag Queen Story Time began in San Francisco in 2015.
• The events generally occur in public spaces like libraries, schools or community centres, with a drag queen host.
• The overall aim of the event is to provide a positive message to children about the diversity of gender expression.

How do children develop their gender identities?

• Children eventually develop a relative clarity of their gender and feel a sense of harmony between the complex factors that contribute to gender identity development.
• Introducing children to diverse gender expressions does not encourage gender dysphoria or confusion.
• On the contrary, diverse experiences throughout life have been shown to foster self and collective understandings of gender and gender differences.

The importance of positive role models

• Having access to positive role models and having positive experiences with people who have diverse gender identities can foster a better sense of belonging and promote self-acceptance.
• People who are successful and positive role models are characterized as being competent and easily relatable.

How can parents engage with Drag Queen Story Time?

• Engaging with drag performers is an opportunity for parents to show their children that diversity is beautiful and worthy of celebration.
• Parents can foster engagement through communication and understanding of their own emotions and their child’s emotions.
