How Drag Queen Story Hour Threatens Child Innocence

Pride Month 2022 has brought many debates and controversies to the forefront; Drag Queen Story Hour is among them. Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH), which has been active since 2015, is a program where Drag Queens read stories to children between the ages of 3-11 in public libraries. The founder of Drag Queen story hour, Michelle Tea, said that she wanted to see less heteronormativity in library reading sessions and more queer-type images portrayed. Several defenders of Drag Queen Story Hour have said that DQSH helps unlock a child's imagination, and explore the world beyond the status quo. Conservative opponents of DQSH have called it child abuse and inappropriate for children.Show more
