Given biblical content and the doctrines that are derived therefrom; and given societal norms for behaviour; is it, in your opinion, right for Christians to oppose people in drag for entertainment, or people who are LGBTIQ+ reading stories to children in public libraries?

A "serious question?" Not that one. Not as it was constructed.

That wording is like asking if it's right to oppose people wearing brown clothes and swastika armbands because they have read German history books and sponsor youth groups that go camping. :(

Biblical content and societal norms aren't necessarily anything to do with each other, so it's hard to figure exactly what you're trying to ask here.

Furthermore "people in drag" could mean something very overtly sexual or something entirely suited to a family friendly evening. When I was a child I often went to a pantomime, which would be based on a children's story. The roles were played by actors and actresses, typically about as mismatched to the role as it was possible to be given the pool of performers available. So, for example, in a pantomime like Cinderella the fairy would be played by the biggest guy they could find, the ugly sisters would invariably be played by men, and so on. It was totally non-sexual in content, entirely family friendly, aimed mostly at children, and even in the 70s it was common for families to go to the pantomime.

Your question about the alphabet people reading stories seems to be worded as if to prompt a specific response, so it's hard to take that seriously as a question.

Obviously, the intention in the OP was to whitewash actions taken by of those both groups by mischaracterizing their actions and motives as always innocent and harmless.

But that aside, it certainly is permissible for Christians to oppose the actions described, just as Christians might find reasons to oppose a rezoning petition or some other administrative policy.

No. They may do what they want. You can just read your kid a book yourself if you don't like it and if noone likes it, there won't be any kids. Apparently there are enough parents who like it. But I did put my signature for a group who opposed them telling older kids filthy stuff on tv. This is just a regular book, I suppose. What is there to oppose?

Agreed, each family can decide for itself.

Assuming, of course, they get to make an informed decision.

Some might argue that sending your child to school isn't providing implicit consent for whatever the school decides to do without telling you about it.

It is NOT OK according to God's Word.

God deemed homosexualty as a sin, and an abomination.

Apostle Paul condemned homosexuality also per New Testament doctrine, and even said those who practice such shall not enter into the Kingdom of God.

In Apostle Paul's time, some of the early Church's members had practiced that lifestyle, but came to Christ and left that lifestyle. Apostle Paul covered that point in his Epistles also. Thus there are plenty of Bible examples that reveal homosexualty is an un-Godly practice.

How then, can one who 'claims' to be a Christian, justify ANY adult pushing homosexual material upon little children?

I'll be more blunt about such evil as reading that sin to innocent children. Homosexuality cannot produce pregnancy, because it is act against God's natural creation. For that reason, the gay community must 'make' future homosexuals through training. And that is exactly what the old pagans that were without God did, like those of Sodom and Gomorrah. Their destruction by God's fire per Genesis 18-19 was not a myth. It actually happened.

So anyone... even saying that it is OK to train little children in that lifestyle, is NOT a true Christian according to God's Word.

"Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts," 1 Corinthians 6:9b
We live in a world full of sinners. In order to live in peace, we respect them as people. We never agree with them but try to love them.
We treat them how we want them to treat us. But involving children is crossing a line. Under no circumstances should this be accepted.
The Muslims are doing a good job of opposing grooming and are motivating Christians to get active. I think it's helpful to understand that people like Bill Gates, William Buffett, and others are funding radical groups in order to bring about more chaos in our society to divide us more and further their globalist schemes.
The majority of gays are against children being groomed. One example is Gays Against Groomers. Unfortunately they were deplatformed for hate speech against minor attracted persons. Smh!
