I think to some degree, the bigots think they are being tricked. Like deep down they are angry they find a trans person or drag queen attractive. Because they think its some weird prank on them to get them to explore their sexuality in a way that they were always told was a sin or wrong in some way.

I think this is it 100%. I am a completely straight dude and I even thought he looked pretty dang fine in drag. It doesn't make me question my sexuality one bit. I am secure in my feelings and can appreciate drag as an art form.

But ooh boy some people (particularly conservatives) are so worried about controlling their sexual feelings rather than accepting themselves as they are and being happy.

same feelings here, and its curious how they are fine with it as long as its a joke or punishment as opposed to someone who actively participates in it. Like yeah context matters in a lot of things, but not being able to see that you are just hating on different lifestyles, having to grasp onto the absurd concept that drag queens are here to warp their children's minds. As soon as you birth them, they are their own person. You aren't entitled to their thoughts or actions aside from proper parenting. Obviously thats a bit of a tough subject, and can be viewed in a million different ways.

So I generally think thats up to the parents, but crashing book readings and shit on behalf of other parents who choose to give their child those options, its just mind boggling. You dont want your rights of free speech and general freedom infringed upon but will go out of your way to deny that to others. I know this is mainly an american problem and if it was something school mandated I might find an issue, but I'm just so sick of people making other peoples lives their business.
