Drag queen support

Back in December I posted about election fraud in North Carolina. Minions associated with GOP candidate Mark Harris of the 9th District collected absentee ballots and filled out, perhaps even revised, enough of them that Harris had a small lead. Now Harris agrees the confidence in the election has been undermined and that a new election should be held. The five-member board of elections voted unanimously to call for that new election.



Drag Queen Story Hour started (as one would expect) in San Francisco. The idea to have drag queens read to children has spread across the country, even to the Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods, where it is popular. Parents bring their children to get the tykes to think about diversity and inclusion.

Of course, there are various fundamentalist groups that try to insert themselves to say such storytellers are inappropriate for children, especially since the stories are about a variety of gender identities. When the protesters came to Michigan there were enough supporters so the kids didn’t see the protesters. Even the mayor wrote an editorial in the newspaper saying the protesters should go away. If his town wants Drag Queen Story Hour it is none of their business.

The latest city to get a protest was Brentwood, California. The number of protesters: 25. The number of supporters: 500.
