Controversy Erupts as Drag Queen Story Hour Faces Opposition at California Library

A drag queen named Pickle was stopped from entering a California library for a children's drag queen story hour by protestors. The event, labeled 'Drag Queen Storytime', was meant to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month but was canceled due to the protesters blocking Pickle's entry. Video footage shows Pickle surrounded by police officers as protestors shout and chant. The protestors claimed they wanted to protect children, while organizers argued that the event promoted diversity and inclusion. The topic of drag queens reading to minors has become controversial, with some states banning such events.
