There are more queer and trans people because queer and trans people feel more comfortable coming out and less likely that they're going to receive mass amounts of hatred.

Because there's more information out there.

No, no, no.

Because there's more media representation.

The media loves to push it.

It is evidenced over the last decade that the more queer people are discussed, the more queer people feel safe.

Why are we doing drag queens story hour?

Drag queens are fun.

Drag queens are fun.

Okay, but it's not for children.

Why not for children?

I would say a drag queen at a story hour is more like a birthday party clown than anything else.

They have a fun hair.

Fun hair, fun makeup, fun shoes, fun outfit.

It's a strip tease.

Okay, some drag queens are strip teases.

If I ordered a birthday clown, if I ordered a birthday clown and Pennywise showed up to my birthday party and started eating my children alive, I would be like, wait, that's the wrong clown.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Some drag queens perform at nightclubs.

Some drag queens read at bookstores.
