California Public Library Hosts Children���s Story Hour with Drag Queen Dressed as Demon

That wacky California.


It���s not nearly bizarre enough, apparently, to criminalize ���wrong��� gender pronoun use, while lessening the penalty for knowingly transmitting HIV.


There must be even MORE madness in the Golden State.


How about this?

Recently, at the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library (because in California, the jokes write themselves, folks), children���s story hour became Drag Queen Story Hour, in honor of LGBT history month. And so a drag queen recently read to the kiddies.


But that���s not all. The drag queen, Xochi Mochi, was dressed as a five-horned demon while he/she/it/they was in front of the children.


The Christian Post reports that the library, in what turned out to be a bit of misjudgment on its part, decided to send out a picture of the drag queen demon reading to the tots, but removed the image once the pic went viral and a public backlash ensued.


According to the Post, Omar Navarro, a Republican contestant for Maxine Waters��� congressional seat, mused to CBS Los Angeles, ���What are we teaching kids in school? Demonic teachings alive in Long Beach. I���m outraged they would allow this.���


However, the broad, public response to the event was hardly all negative, with one commenter posting to Mochi���s Instagram account, ���Thank you so much for coming to the library, reading to kids and being MARVELOUS!��� as well as ���I���m sorry you're getting hatred. I���d give you a great big hug if I could.���


Welcome to California.
