0:33 - As we head into Pride weekend less than two weeks after homophobic and transphobic slurs shut down a drag queen reading event at the San Lorenzo Public Library, we speak with Lil Miss Hot Mess [2](@LilMissHotMess [3]), a drag queen, children's book author, and board member of the international organization Drag Queen Story Hour [4](@dqshtweets [5]). Near the end of the episode, she gives us a short reading. For the full in-person experience, Lil Miss Hot Mess will be reading live at Black Bird Bookstore, in the Outer Sunset in San Francisco. The event will be outdoors, at 11am on July 9th.
