Brussels Supports Projects Raising Suspicion of Pedophilia

This is what the EU spends its budget: choir for gender equality or exploring the drag personality of 14-year-olds.

An article, however, reveals that DragTivism was created by certain  The One and Only Rexy and Grace Towers (stage names) as a mentorship program for young people. 

In an Instagram post shared by The One and Only Rexy, the performer is seen reading to second-grader immigrant kids from his favorite sensitizing book.

So this could have been the source of inspiration for the EU-funded DragTivism Jr project, but the project shares little information about its activities. In contrast, there is no need to dig deep to find information about DragTivism, also funded with EU money, as the European Commission's website shows. Even letters from participants are shared on their Facebook page:

"In July 2019 I went to Scotland in an Erasmus+ action called Dragtivism. I spent more than a week in Moffat and Glasgow with people from Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Slovakia, and explored what it meant to be an activist for LGBTQIA+ rights and a drag performer with the amazing Ru Jazzle and CJ Banks" (...)

This year I want to celebrate Pride by donating money to associations that fight for transgender rights. I ask you to do the same,

one participant posted after the "training".

"DragTivism guided me to do things I wish I could have done a long time ago, but I didn't know how,"  one participant shared his experiences (Source: Dragtivism/Facebook)

A Scottish "student" (?) discloses a slightly more concrete experience, saying that "by developing a drag personality and learning drag skills, young people will be able to transfer the competencies they have acquired to their everyday lives".

"DragTivism has healing powers, it is a cure against bigotry, small mindedness and hate. DragTivism changed me forever," another participants says. (Source: DragTivism/Facebook)

DragTivism has healing powers, it is a cure against bigotry, small mindedness and hate. DragTivism changed me forever,

she says.

But it is clear that they draw from the deep when it comes to finding professionals. As one participant, quoted earlier, said, they could learn from "amazing" people like Ru Jazzle, who has 683 subscribers on YouTube.
