RuPaul supports drag queen story hours during Emmy win speech

RuPaul defended drag queen story hours at libraries while accepting the outstanding reality competition award at the Emmys on Monday night.

Drag shows, including readings at libraries, in several states have been the target of multiple anti-drag show bills in recent years, and protestors have gathered at libraries in opposition to drag queen story hour events. 

"If a drag queen wants to read you a story at a library, listen to her, because knowledge is power, and if someone tries to restrict your access to power, they are trying to scare you," RuPaul said Monday. "So listen to a drag queen."
