STEP UP AND PROTEST?
1 Kings 14:24
“And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.”South Australia’s Dream BIG Children’s Festival adds drag queen story time sessions to its program.
Drag queens will read stories to youngsters at South Australia’s biggest festival for children this week.
The
“colourful and cool” story sessions are among the new additions to the
DreamBIG Children’s Festival’s Big Family Weekend, starting this
Saturday.Similar events held interstate and overseas have attracted criticism and even protests; however, DreamBIG creative producer Susannah Sweeney said she did not expect Adelaide people to take issue with the sessions. She said Drag Queen Storytime, to be held at the State Library of South Australia, channelled the festival’s theme.
“The theme of the festival is ‘people together’ so we celebrate diversity, so that’s all part of that,” Ms Sweeney said.
“But ultimately, drag queens are colourful and cool.”
