Reply to comment by shruglifeOG in 'Drag Story Hour' protest draws passionate crowds outside Queens library by seejordan3

But it’s not “costume” it’s drag. Also they should have to rename the event

Edit: shouldn’t

If the performers are not in costume, how would you describe their attire?

If you change the name you put the protestors in a corner where they'd have to concede the concept of a guy in a dress is the issue, not any association with the drag scene. People on both sides of the issue think drag is adult entertainment; you avoid that issue by calling it something else while still having the same people do story time. And you can have additional volunteers come in costume and read to the kids too if they wish.
