Douglas Ross asked to apologise over recent drag queen comments

A Scottish Government minister has called on Douglas Ross to apologise for his comments about a drag queen story hour event for children.
Equalities minister Emma Roddick suggested the Scottish Conservative leader should attend the show in question, an event he has described as “totally inappropriate” for youngsters.
Mr Ross was in the Scottish Parliament chamber at the time of Ms Roddick’s remarks and appeared angered by them.
He has already stood by his original tweet and said his political rivals are ignoring the concerns of his constituents.
On Tuesday, he tweeted his opposition to an event taking place at Elgin Library this weekend.
Featuring “Moray’s very own Miss Lossie Mouth”, the event is described as a “fun and interactive show suitable for children aged 0-6”.
Ms Roddick was asked about the Government’s efforts to tackle LGBT discrimination.
She said ministers have recently published a plan on hate crime and are in the process of drawing up an action plan for non-binary people.
Discussing Mr Ross’s tweet, she said: “Mr Ross may want to reflect on his recent comments, which follow others that he’s made in regard to Gypsy travellers as well.
While Mr Ross was not immediately called on during the parliamentary session, Holyrood’s cameras showed him appearing angered by Ms Roddick’s statement.

The only people who should be apologising are those who’s idea it was to have the drag queen story time in the first place.

[@theresawareness8358]

Disgusting. Drag is an adult pass time nothing NOTHING to with children.

[@daffytree2605]

no mention of the anti English rhetoric which has been rife within certain members of the SNP.

[@johnfisher7587]

What a lot of shy from the SNP

[@scottishno5]

Complete nonsense as usual. They said nothing about their hatred of women when they were pushing through the GRA.

[@soton5teve]

01:01 - 01:04 hatred of women clearly shown

[@ronniemac2636]

She is hetrophobic.😢

[@scotmacc]

The only hatred I have seen comes from the trans ideologues.

[@ashleydickenson2093]

Exactly. They are intolerant. They are the real bigots.

[@grantross9011]

Pantomime she says, well she’s part of the biggest one on show

[@johnhughes4631]

The SNPaedo

[@patricklee6206]

There is a world of difference between a pantomime dame (.which is a comedic persona) and drag queen at a school spreading their propaganda.

[@gavinbissell8847]

Say that again slowly-
"Drag queen storytime, for children"
Yeah that's inappropriate

[@neils4886]

Never for old people. Grooming!

[@davidewing3628]

Simple solution, just make perversion illegal. Sick of it all.

[@bryanbrookes6366]

Whilst pantomime dames and drag acts do have proud tradition in this country there is no way bairns should be read to by men dressed as women would you let Isla Bryson read to them

[@bigbinji6145]

only if Isla was in handcuffs and chains as a guide to children not to be fooled by men with lipstick on

[@yesterdaysman8123]

“Any hatred or intolerance will not be tolerated “, how about anti English rhetoric? SNP glass houses.

[@angiemccorry683]

There is no reason children shoyld be exposeed to frag queens Its adult entertainment This government is wrong

[@johnrea2115]

How about defusing this issue by firstly instigating drag story time in old folks homes, I am sure such a colourful occasion would brighten many a day

[@davidcald5975]

snp 😂😂😂

[@AlVlogs1603]

Why should he

[@folly7533]

Woke supreme!

[@caberfeigh396]

Freaks!

[@dadaniel2467]

Madness

[@davidnichol6282]

I am always amazed at the woke political buzz words. When examined more closely and explained in more detail are shown to be used out of context. Look at sturgeon using the politically woke transgender issues. And when questioned in more detail were Sturgeon was questioned in more details by a more competent journalist was shown that her ideas were flawed.

[@Rootle2]

They invent a crime, label him with it, then condemn him for it. How is he supposed to respond to that?

[@donaldmackinnon4621]

They don't like to say they are sorry do they?

[@ashleydickenson2093]

He should NOT apologise. Children are known to have been turned off at the very least over such individuals. I have written to schools in my area warning them of this.

[@joanrodger352]

Should never apologise.Its a disgrace.

[@stuwhite1969]

Wish the Scottish government would deal with real problems

[@jamesmitchell8119]

He's right what he said

[@gordonfleming458]

Nothing about Westminster

[@garrywells3635]

Emma ruddock, list msp, and bully

[@soton5teve]

01:01 - 01:04 and his hatred for women
