A local authority has apologised after a drag queen appeared at an LGBT event in a primary school.
Renfrewshire Council said it was investigating after concerns were raised about the sexual content of social media posts by FlowJob.
Drag queen Flowjob was invited to the Paisley primary school to speak to pupils about the Section 28 Act
SNP politician Mhairi Black who is a lesbian has defended a decision to invite a
drag queen into a primary school to read to pupils, despite an outcry from
parents over sexually explicit social media posts.
Drag queen FlowJob was invited into Glencoats Primary in Paisley,
Renfrewshire, last week to speak to pupils about the notorious Section 28
Act, which was later repealed.
After parents voiced concern that sexually explicit images were on FlowJob's social media profile,
Renfrewshire Council has said it would never have invited the performer had it been aware of the posts.
But Black slated critics and accused them of homophobia.
Writing on Twitter, she said: "You just know that the people pretending to be livid that a drag queen
read a book in a school are also the people who run out to buy their kids the latest Grand Theft Auto on release day.
"Your homophobia is transparent."
And campaign group LGBT Youth Scotland wrote on Twitter: "We're horrified to see the abusive messages
and tweets targeting Glencoats Primary School for their bold and brilliant LGBT inclusive education practices.
"We are proud to work with their pioneering headteacher, and recognise the school as an example to
others across the country."
The Act was introduced by Margaret Thatcher to ban the 'promotion of
homosexuality' in schools.
The event was attended by Renfrewshire MSP Mhairi Black, a vocal activist
for LGBTQ rights.
A spokesman for campaign group ForWomen.scot said: "Sending abusive
messages to a school is not OK, but questions about this are legitimate.
"
A male who dresses as a sexualised parody of a women, goes by the name
"flowjob" is hardly a role model for primary aged children.
"Did no one check this?".
