Boston Public Library branches will be hosting 19 drag queen story hour events<\/a> for young children and their families throughout June as part of the library system\u2019s LGBTQ+ Pride Month programming.<\/p>\n

Most of the events are geared toward children ages five and under, according to the library\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Drag performer “Ms. Patty” is scheduled to host 17 of the story hour events, listed for children 18 months to 5 years old. Another performer, “Rose Quartz,” is also slated to read at one event for children in the same age range.<\/p>\n

A third performer, “Just JP,” will host a bilingual drag story hour for children and families that, according to the event description<\/a>, aims to “raise awareness of gender diversity, promote self-acceptance, and build empathy through an enjoyable literary experience.”<\/p>\n

The drag-themed story hours are among 46 Pride Month programs<\/a> listed on the library\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Other children’s events on the library’s schedule include “Pride Crafts for Kids” and a “Kids’ Concert with The Grumpytime Club,” whose music explores themes of “inclusivity, social justice<\/a>, earth stewardship and LGBTQ youth\/family pride.”<\/p>\n

Drag story hour events for minors have drawn controversy in recent years<\/a>, with critics arguing the programs are inappropriate for children, while supporters say they promote literacy and inclusivity.<\/p>\n

Several Republican-led states, including Tennessee<\/a>, Texas and Florida, have passed laws restricting certain drag performances in the presence of minors.<\/p>\n

The Boston Public Library also promotes LGBTQ-related resources for children and teens on its website, the National Review<\/a> reported, including a staff-created list of “Children’s Books for Lesbian Visibility Week” and a gender identity and sexual orientation resource guide. The website also provides lists of local health providers for “LGBTQIA youth.”<\/p>\n

The Boston Public Library did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The programming comes as Boston Mayor Michelle Wu\u2019s office has recently faced scrutiny over a separate LGBTQ-related taxpayer-funded initiative.<\/p>\n

In April, LGBTQ advocacy group OUTnewcomers returned<\/a> a $7,500 city grant tied to Boston\u2019s Mayor\u2019s Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement after controversy over a proposed wellness program for LGBT migrants that advertised benefits including yoga classes, massages and gym memberships.<\/p>\n

Mayor Michelle Wu\u2019s office said the grant funding was intended to support mental health<\/a> services and “were not designated for and may not be used for the voucher program referenced.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
