"Philly Sets Guinness Record with Largest Drag Story Time for Pride Month"
Philadelphia kicked off LGBTQ Pride Month by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest drag queen story time, with 263 attendees at the National Constitution Center. The event, organized by the Philadelphia Gay News, highlighted the unique cultural significance of drag story times and served as a statement against efforts to ban such events in states like Texas and Montana. The process to get the record recognized by Guinness took about eight months, and the event featured performances by five drag artists.
