Drag Queen Story Hour was created in San Francisco, and people have started organizing their own events there, in New York, in Los Angeles and even here in Wisconsin.
According to the organization, "Drag is an artistic way of expressing yourself and showing the world different parts of who you are and who you want to be." At drag queen story hours, people who dress in drag lead the story time and work to educate kids about gender diversity.
Milwaukee mom Edie Pasek is working with the Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) system to organize MPL's first drag queen story hour, which will take place on Saturday, July 14. MPL's youth services coordinator, Kelly Wochinske, said, "We want Milwaukee Public Library programming to reflect the community we serve and to be inclusive of all the families that use our libraries."
