goodstuffhappenedtoday: San Francisco Public Library hosts drag queen story hour for children What do drag queens and children have in common? They both find joy in wrapping themselves in feather boas and all things shiny and glittery. A San Francisco nonprofit recognizes this shared interest in dressing up and is joining forces with the San Francisco Public Library to bring drag queens and children together. Radar Productions, a group giving voice to queer writers and artists, will be hosting Honey Mahogany at the Eureka Valley Harvey Milk Memorial Library, March 12, noon to 2 p.m, in the heart of the Castro District. Dressed in fabulous drag-queen garb and full makeup, Honey will be reading stories, painting children’s faces and passing out cookies. Honey is best known as a cast member on Season 5 of the reality television cult phenomenon “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The group has hosted two similar events and Radar executive director Juliana Delgado Lopera said they were a success. “I think generally queers are not mixed with kids—especially drag queens,” Delgado Lopera said. “It’s really beautiful to have drag queens painting children’s faces and telling stories. It’s disrupting that idea that queers can’t mix with kids.” She added: “It’s a kid’s world to be very imaginative. If children were allowed they would dress up every day. I don’t think they’re thinking about gender assumptions. They’re just seeing the drag queens as other people who are being imaginative.” More at the link. -- source link
