HUNTINGTON WOODS, Mich. – A story hour hosted by drag performers at a suburban Detroit public library is seeing some opposition about a year after it made its debut.
Similar programs have taken place around the U.S. for years and sometimes faced criticism . The Detroit Free Press reports some people have voiced opposition to the Huntington Woods Library's "Drag Queen Story Time" event, which started in 2017.
Allison Iversen is a Huntington Woods commissioner and says "it seems like the wrong way to teach this kind of acceptance." She says she worries it could be "planting a seed" about gender fluidity.
Jon Pickell is a library clerk. He disputes the criticism, saying: "You're not going to end up as transsexual . because you saw a drag queen story hour."
The next event is set for Jan. 26.
