On Saturday, Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library will hold its 1st #draqQueenStoryHour.It's their first and one of the first in IN. Not everyone is happy about this. courierpress.com/story/news/loc…
It is ironic though, to see protesters wanting to take free speech away from a library.
#DragQueenStoryHours #DQSH exist to validate the gender fluidity that many of our youth embrace--a new reality.
I know not all are on board.Image me for 60 years thinking: Male. Female. And now?!! But yes you can teach this old dog new tricks
But more important, I realize I won't always agree with everyone. Diverse voices need to be heard.Deserve to be heard.#DQSH
The Indiana Library Foundation, the state's professional library association, opted not to show support for Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library. This is typical for most state library associations.
So, amidst all the boycotts, protests, public hearings and calls for firings and dismissals and such, EVPL continues to plan it #DQSH.
Kudos to you, Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library! #DQSH
