First off I haven’t purchased anything from a Nutrien retailer in years. I didn’t appreciate their take over of the independent retailers years ago. What I can’t figure out is why companies think having Drag Queen story time is a positive for their companies image. And this isn’t specific to this event. It is being done in places like Calgary’s public library. I also can’t understand why a parent would take their child to have a man dressed as a woman read their children stories?! Also, Nutrien’s customer base are farmers like you and me, how does this increase their business?! Any thoughts?

Mrs Doubtfire and Mrs Brown's Boys.
Are generally G rated comedies. No one of any age would see anything sexual.
Drag queens don't wear granny dresses and clogs.
Mrs Brown would not look suggestive on a pole. A 7 year old would see a man dressed as a woman for laughs.
I'd like to walk through that tent before I passed final judgement.
Agendas run amok until challenged.
These attention stunts are backfiring for now, as they should.
Protecting children means age appropriate exposure to the concept.
At what age would you take your child through Auschwitz???
Can't believe we're even debating this!!!Last edited by blackpowder; May 27, 2023, 09:22.Comment

They may not be wearing anything revealing, maybe they will be. Should they? Not really, but then that gets into censoring what women are allowed to wear so that we don’t expose children to sexualized things too early. That is an extremely dangerous line to approach. I dare you to tell me what I’m allowed to wear because YOU think it’s too sexual. Everyone will have their own line of what’s appropriate.
Sequins? Well… are those really sexual? I wore sequins when I was 11 in tap dance. Was I being groomed dancing around? Probably, dancing has been used to groom women for centuries 😂
Cleavage? Yeah, I suppose. But go to the beach and you see that everywhere. Even the grocery store.
Extreme make up? Well, even without getting into some women’s make up preferences, clowns have been around for years and nobody would call them sexual because of excessive make up.
Readings are generally done by people to get attention and to perform. Drag queens are performers. If it’s about acceptance for trans I wouldn’t say it’s hitting that mark at all. For one, Drag Queen doesn’t mean trans. For two, performance doesn’t equal acceptance.
If they’re reading age appropriate books then it really would be no different than taking a child to see a play in the 1600s when all actors were men dressed up in corsets, dresses, wigs, and make up.
Drag Queens aren’t really projecting anything new, people are seeing them as something new. Which could make one step back and consider do children see things in a negative way, or do they see those things in the negative ways because the adults around them are preaching about it. A child is probably going to enjoy fun costumes and a good day out hearing a story (reading being something I think more kids need to do 20000x more than worry about who’s reading). A child whose parent is going to go on and on about how brave the performer is and trans is healthy is going to come away wondering what trans is and focusing on that. A child whose parent goes on and on about inappropriate sexuality, the child will take that away with them.
More than worrying about what kids take away from performances, perhaps we should worry about what we are giving them to take away.Comment

Some brave farmer should show up at the fertilizer plant wearing a g string thong and some clown make up and a couple dildos pasted to his chest and see what Nutrien would do then.
Maybe someone will start a frivolous lawsuit claiming their ag rep touched them inappropriately.Last edited by jazz; May 27, 2023, 11:13.Comment
