People came to Calvary Presbyterian Church in San Francisco Sunday for a “Drag Queen Bible Story Hour.”

Organizers were hoping to provide a different perspective after some of the push back that has occurred around the country around drag performances.

Reverend Victor Floyd said it was a first for the church.

“We’re hoping to offer a little balance to all of the hateful rhetoric that is out in the country and especially from churches and politicians, who are using churches and using trans people and drag queens as their props,” he said.

Floyd added that not everyone supported the church hosting the event.

Daniel 8:23-25 King James Version

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
