Fifth & Mission

How Storytelling Drag Queens Became Right-Wing Targets


Listen Later

The Drag Queen Story Hour is a beloved community program where drag queens perform songs and tell stories to children in libraries. The program originated in San Francisco, and it's become fodder for right-wing media. A recent disruption by protesters at a San Lorenzo library has the LGBTQ community on edge. Chronicle reporter Ryan Kost joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss the anxiety among Bay Area drag queens, and Per Sia — one of the founding queens of Drag Queen Story Hour — shares her perspective. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
