Protesters clashed outside a library in New York City that was hosting a "Drag Story Hour" for neurodiverse children. Supporters argue that the events promote inclusivity and diversity and help children grow into supportive and understanding individuals. However, critics accuse the organizers of "grooming" children to engage in LGBTQ activities.
During the event, protestors hurled insults at the children and their parents as they arrived for the storybook reading. The New York Public Library described the event as "story time with local drag performers adapted to be more accessible to kids with autism and other disabilities." Despite the hostility outside, supporters of these events remain steadfast in their mission to spread love and understanding through storybook readings.
