The War on Drag Queen Story Hour
Synopsis
In Tennessee, the first US state to enact a drag ban, Drag Queen Story Hours face opposition from militias and activists amid a growing crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights.
Synopsis
Tennessee became the first U.S. state to enact a 'drag ban,' prompting significant opposition to Drag Queen Story Hours, where drag performers read to children in libraries and cafes. At least fifteen Republican-controlled states are now pursuing similar legislation aimed at restricting drag performances accessible to minors. Reporter Minnie Stephenson visits Story Hours that continue despite threats, engages with opponents, and highlights the experiences of drag queens who view these developments as part of a broader crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights.
