My first drag queen interview
That could be the title of a picture book!
Or, these days, perhaps not.
First, an unfortunately familiar recap:
In August, in Georgia, the Forsyth County School District asked me to omit the word “gay” from assemblies for elementary students in grades 3 and up or leave. I left.In September, on the eve of my tenth and final scheduled day of talks in Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), the same thing happened.
Intolerance does have an upside: it gets people talking (and, hopefully, reflecting).
A drag queen named Amber LeMay invited me to discuss these incidents on her YouTube show.
I rarely do podcasts or other streaming interview shows, especially on a topic that the press has already widely covered, but couldn’t resist this. Amber was a gracious host and a savvy interviewer.
Thank you, Amber, for your compassion and time!
