I Don’t Know How It Caught On, But…

…There seems to be a lot of drag queens reading books.

I don’t understand why they want to butt in and try to force their religious beliefs down everyone’s throats. They are not being forced to attend the readings, those who attend want to attend to hear the stories.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (CNN/WSPA) - Drag queen story hour drew more spirited protests and counter protests outside the event when it returned on Sunday.

The Greenville County Sheriff's Office had several temporary rules in place during the event at Five Forks Library in Simpsonville after some social media threats were made. The event had been canceled due to an issue with posting tickets on a site, but returned on Sunday.

“On behalf of God, we’re asking him to move this totally out of our community, that we just don’t think it’s a healthy situation,” said one protestor.

Rylee Hunty, a reader at the event and one of the organizers, said, “There’s more people in this community that are behind us than you think there is."

EXETER — The Exeter Community Library held its first-ever "Drag Queen Story Hour" Saturday, Feb. 9, and it was met with a wealth of both opposition and support.

The event featured drag queen Miss Amie Vanité and included stories, dancing and a craft for children.
The controversial program has been making the rounds at libraries across the country.
"We're very excited for it. For us, it's promoting kindness, tolerance, acceptance of people who might be different from you," said Mallory Hoffman, executive director of the Exeter Community Library. "We're having a drag queen story hour. It's a national thing,"

By 1 p.m., a half-hour before the story hour was scheduled to begin, crowds had already formed in the library's parking lot. While some had congregated outside the building to oppose the event, others lined the edge of the library's driveway to show their support to those attending the story hour.

Others outside the library had a different take on the event.

"We're showing our support against the program about drag queens and exposing our children to something they're not prepared for," said Bill Sutton of Shillington.

Out in California they also ran into protests…

There were some in Brentwood who felt that a literary event at the Brentwood Community Center on Monday night was inappropriate for kids. Why? The public reading in Contra Costa County featured a drag queen reading children's books to, well, children.

But the 25 or so people who showed up to protest mostly peacefully outside the venue were well outnumbered by the 500 people Contra Costa County Libraries estimated to have attended the event. It was more people than the organization expected to attend to hear Bella Aldama read to young guests, a spokeswoman for the group told SFGATE, but it was nevertheless "a rousing success."

"The Contra Costa County Library is proud of the event," spokeswoman Brooke Converse said. "Our mission is about bringing people and ideas together. We want to be representative and inclusive of everyone in our very diverse county and community."

In Exeter one of the protesters said, “…exposing our children to something they're not prepared for…” well they are not being “exposed” the protester’s children are not inside listening to the stories being read, what the protester really wants is to control what other people think, they want to force their religious beliefs on others of different religious beliefs.

They think their religion is the only true religion and dismiss everyone else’s beliefs.

The Supreme Court when they take up “religious freedom” they better tread very carefully or they are going to create a can-of-worms.
