Honestly, I was surprised that the matter took on such proportions. Naively, I wasn't expecting that. It was linked to a petition submitted to the National Assembly calling for a ban on the practice. The petition garnered tens of thousands of signatures.
This goes back to the point about misinformation. That's what happened here. People practically thought that we were promoting homosexuality and trying to convince young people to become homosexual or transgender. This led to demonstrations in front of places where Barbada, a drag queen, was scheduled to do story time.
The National Assembly ultimately passed a unanimous motion to reaffirm its confidence in Barbada. Barbada is portrayed by elementary school teacher Sébastien Potvin. He's used to working with young people and conveying sensitive messages in the right way. A great deal of misinformation was involved in all this.
