Opinion

A few weeks ago, an organization that is meant to help children (fostered, traumatized, etc.) decided that it would be a good idea to put on story time with a drag queen and king and host a drag show geared for children. This event was held at the Karuk Wellness Center up by the Campell Tracts. Youth Empowerment Services (Y.E.S) is this organization.

Childhood is challenging on many levels, and with many in today’s society wanting to indoctrinate or steal youth’s innocence, in our opinion, it’s WRONG! As great-great grandparents and all levels in between we’re concerned for all our loved ones as well as all youth/humanity.
To Mr. Jess Harris,
Just a question, is this you? https://www.linkedin.com/in/jess-harris-b9157517a?trk=pub-pbmap
Because if it is, there are some concerning things about your profile matching with the regional location/involvement and organizations: Which include a link to a firearms organization page guided by Christian beliefs which advocates for gun rights under the 2nd amendment?
But anyway, I would counter-argue that Republican states like Tennessee are trying to dismantle age limits for child marriages (ugh), alongside allow only “straight” couple to marry. Just about every conservative/republican state these days are trying to pull a Rick Santorum. But hey! Let’s keep having child beauty pageants because that’s okay, right?! And rolling back and resorting to child labor because “It’s American”? The trauma with religion, gun violence, and child abuse/neglect are far higher than the so called “drag queen” event you’re so vehemently against. Might want to revisit those statistics while at it.
In case you haven’t heard (or read for that matter), there are Natives/Indians who are two-spirit. If you don’t know what that is or means, you have a lot of reading to do because it’s been around for quite sometime!
I guess you weren’t taught about tolerance and acceptance as a child, and that’s more disturbing to say the least. I would advise you to watch the The Last of Us Episode 3. If you can manage to finish that episode, then you still have hope.
