Despite Backlash, Drag Queen Story Hour Continues

In this May 13, 2017, file photo, Lil Miss Hot Mess reads to children during the Feminist Press' presentation of Drag Queen Story Hour at the Park Slope Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, in NY.

Rachel Aimee, executive director, NYC Chapter, discusses the backlash against Drag Queen Story Hour from the Christian right because drag performers regularly entertain children at libraries and community centers.

Come to @BrianLehrer for enlightenment, stay for @Deborahguarino ! The author of Is Your Mama a Llama was just on the show. @StorytimeDrag will be even more lit!
