"My way of thinking" is the way of thinking that is foundational to both The United States and Canada as our legal systems are not terribly dissimilar on this point. We don't simply ban things because we dislike them, because again, any of us may find ourselves at the end of that metaphorical barrel.
Where we differ is that I would oppose legislation that limits your freedom if it doesn't have a compelling interest, whereas you seem to be quite happy to limit the freedom of others without such compelling interest. Again, you may find that favorable in this specific example because the legislation used is commensurate with your personal opinion.
I am not saying I
need to outlaw drag story hour. It's like I said, there are many extra-legal ways to contain them. I just lament that in order to be a free and just society, we have to tolerate something like that, or homosexuality. If there were a way to be free and just while also not having to deal with gays or drag queens, I would be ecstatic.
