Organizers of a Drag Story Time for children planned at a New Hampshire library moved the LGBTQ pride event to a private venue amid backlash from locals, who reportedly contacted library trustees to complain.
Jen Thielker, director of the Taylor Public Library in Derry, New Hampshire, posted on Facebook that the event was booked without consulting library staff and trustees. The event, Drag Story Time with Clara, planned to feature a drag performer reading stories about penguins and teaching a song about rainbows.
