BOULDER, Colo — Educators, librarians, and community members gathered for the LGBTQ+ Safety, Storytelling, and Sanctuary Summit in Boulder on Saturday.
Hamilt says when drag story hour started a few years ago, they were met with a lot of positivity and love. Drag Story Hour readers Shirley Delta Blow and Zarah were among the panelists at the summit on Saturday. They said they depend on staff and sometimes parents to address the protesters. They try to stay focused on reading to the children.
“We walk between kids and their families and protesters. We use our umbrellas like shields, so they won't have to see the signs and the angry faces,” said Ripley. “Most importantly, we never engage with the protestors. We don't yell back and forth. The whole point is to reduce the chaos for the kids and keep them safe.”
