AntiSocial

Drag queens and libraries


Listen Later

The row over drag queens reading stories to children.

A spate of protests outside libraries has focused attention on the idea of drag queen story hours - drag queens reading stories to young children in libraries and other public spaces.

For others, it risks exposing young minds to adult entertainment and complex themes of sex and gender.
