Drag Queen Storytime events face cancellations due to safety concerns and threats.

The Tigard Public Library in Oregon canceled a Drag Queen Storytime event featuring Poison Waters due to repeated threats of violence. The event was sponsored by the city of Tigard and was meant to celebrate Pride Month. Tigard police have not disclosed the nature of the threats or the identity of the individuals responsible. The library will be closed on Sunday as a precautionary measure. Poison Waters expressed disappointment but emphasized the importance of not giving in to negativity. This is the second family-friendly Pride event in the Portland area to be canceled due to threats.
