https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-13/liberal-national-club-president-wilson-gavin-dies/11863096
The head of a university Liberal National Club that surrounded and shouted at drag queens reading to children in a Brisbane City Council Library has died. Well, this story was tonal whiplash. I only learned about the protest a few hours ago. According to the linked article, Wilson Gavin also spoke on behalf of the Australian Monarchists Party. I think his politics were abhorrent, and yesterday's actions were total shit. But I don't think he deserved to die, and I feel extremely bad for his family. Having to bury a family member like that is fucking awful - especially someone who's this young. Surprising, but heartening, is the fact that the group he slandered yesterday extended their well-wishes to the family of the man. I think it rings true that even with a garbage streak to his behavior, this death is senseless and traumatic to his family and they deserve whatever support they can get right now. In the wake of his death, I can't help but wonder if yesterday's actions were a cry for help - an extreme action taken by a person with nothing left to lose. But I can't comment on the circumstances with any sort of objectivity, and even on my best day I would never have been able to affect this outcome through the sheer force of the distance between us. So that's how this is at the moment. --- Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed ... Copied to Clipboard!

Diamond Good-Rim I mean, isnt it really appropriate to have Drag Queens, especially with names like this, be teaching/reading and performing in front of children or whatever they were doing? Arent a lot of Drag queen acts very highly sexually charged? At least the ones I have been to have been. And just looking up the event on google images, a lot of them are in their full gear. It would be like having pornstars or strippers on stage in their skimpy gear reading story books to kids. Its straight up just inappropriate. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean, isnt it really appropriate to have Drag Queens, especially with names like this, be teaching/reading and performing in front of children or whatever they were doing? Not all drag-queens are sexually charged. It's all based on the character they are portraying. It's a person-by-person basis. I mean look at RuPaul. Some of his works have been overly sexual while other stuff he has done has been pretty G/PG rated. If it's a drag queen doing like a throwback to Hollywood era performance or a drag queen doing a traditional fashion look or anything of that style, then it wouldn't be an issue. As for this, I'm not entirely sure if Australian slang translates to what I think Good-Rim is but if it's the same, then yes that is highly inappropriate no matter the person. --- PoW '09 Topic of the Year Co-Winners (Rada and Texy) FFD ...

this has been going on for like a year now, has anything negative befallen any of the children involved in drag queen story time to make it worth freaking out about?

Came across an article before I went to work about the protest, then I came across an article after work saying he'd killed himself that morning. As far as I'm concerned, it all happened in the blink of an eye --- Now Playing: Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed ... Copied to Clipboard!
