Protests Against Drag Story Hour Come to NYC

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 4, 2023

Protests outside of drag story hour events have been happening in the city in the past few weeks. Talia Jane, an independent reporter covering policing, extremism and activism, reports on who is attending the protests against the children's events, and why. Flame Hair NYC, a performer for Drag Story Hour NYC, explains what Drag Story Hour is for the uninitiated, and what they are doing for kids at story hour.
