SAN DIEGO — The New Children's Museum found itself the center of a protest as it hosted a"Drag Queen Story Hour" Saturday morning.
Dozens of people gathered on the downtown sidewalks outside the museum, some of them in favor of and others opposed to drag queens reading books to children. “Transgender men in bathrooms, school curriculums, drag queen shows — It’s clear that there is some sort of sexualized agenda going on in America right now," said Ryan Waroff, who traveled to San Diego from Temecula to the protest.“I don’t believe that they genuinely have a problem with the sexualization of it.
In the days leading up to the protest, the New Children's Museum made the decision to close on Saturday to everyone, except for the families who already RSVP'd to the event. Dozens of San Diego Police officers lined West Island Avenue during the protest in an effort to keep the peace.
