Drag queens reading or performing to children have been in the news of late, following numerous cases of shocking and inappropriate behaviour. This has led to a backlash, and a backlash against the backlash.
But what’s slipped a bit under the radar amid these revelations is the number of men who dress up as sexual parodies of women in order to read to, or perform in front of, children, who have been arrested for child sexual abuse offences. Until now.
On June 23 it was revealed that Brice Patric Ryschon Williams, who uses the drag name ‘Anastasia Diamond’, had been charged with 43 criminal counts, 25 of which were related to child pornography.
He was only caught after investigators found the name ‘Ana D,’ a shortened version of his drag name, on a Dropbox account that contained child sexual abuse material.
He is at least the seventh man who is either a drag queen or a sponsor of drag queens to be arrested for paedophilia offences in recent years.
In 2019 an organisation called Houston MassResistance investigated the small number of drag queens who were reading to children in public libraries – and found that two of them were convicted child sex offenders.
One of them, William Travis Dees, a former transgender prostitute, served as a ‘greeter’ for young children as they came into the library, even though he had been convicted of sex crimes against four children (aged 4, 5, 6 and 8) and is listed as a “high-risk sex offender.”
Last year, Brett Blomme, the president and CEO of the Cream City Foundation, which operates the Milwaukee Drag Queen Story Hour for local children, was arrested and charged with possessing child pornography depicting the sexual abuse of underage boys, including toddlers. He was later sentenced to nine years in prison.

The fact that someone, somewhere, ever thought having drag queens reading to children in a library is a symptom of a far deeper malaise…
This is horrendous – but not surprising as they are males regardless of their vestments.
From my very first sighting of drag queens I’ve considered them a gross insult to women. And I don’t have to explain ‘women’ as female adults because there is only one type of woman and we know who we are.
Some feminists have told me I lack a sense of humour & that it’s good for”us” to see how others see us. Well I’m not part of that “us”. There’s nothing funny about males thinking they are females. Delusionary, dangerous and disingeniuous.
