JOY Breakfast

It’s time, we need to talk about Drag Storytime!

It’s time, we need to talk about Drag Storytime!

With the news that overnight, protesters flooded a City of Monash council meeting, and shouted abuse at councillors ahead of discussions about a drag story time event for IDAHOBIT in May, Dean has decided it’s time to discuss his own experience of harassment in the past six months as a drag entertainer that all performs for children.

Being a Breakfast show, Rach and Dean decided to record after JOY Breakfast had finished to explore the current climate and its affects on performers and communities.

As performer Frock Hudson, this year has been a rollercoaster, with poorly excecuted “disruption” to his children’s show in Midsumma, performing for audiences at Moomba and hosting the biggest Rainbow Storytime Daylesford has ever seen during Chillout – but the current harassment and abuse that people and businesses are experiencing because they are creating. space for an entertainer to read to children is crazy, and last nights council meeting was a tipping point about staying silent for him.
