Drag queen story hours - events where drag performers read to children - are moving out of the big cities and coming to conservative southern US states.
A group of drag queens stand in a small room at the back of a public library in South Carolina, their bright outfits in contrast with the beige walls.
Children file in and quickly scan the larger-than-life characters before turning their attention to running around and playing.
"There are five drag queens walking around this room and not one kid has walked up to us and said 'you're so weird'," says drag queen Rylee Hunty. "Kids exist in their own fantasy world and we fit into that."
The children assemble on the floor in front of Rylee as she starts to read. After a page or so, she is interrupted by a young girl who stands up and offers Rylee her bracelet because she's "a princess".
Outside the library, armed police watch over groups of protesters and counter-protesters chanting at each other in the rain. Each side representing a different view of the future of the American South.
Drag Queen Story Hour was established in San Francisco in 2015, and has since spread across the US and around the world.
While the Greenville story hour is not officially linked to the organisation, it is part of a growing movement to bring these events to Middle America.
Jonathan Hamilt, a co-founder of Drag Queen Story Hour in New York, told the BBC they have seen "an exponential growth in the number of events in more conservative, rural and southern states over the last year".
"We have chapters in Nebraska, Indiana and Alabama. I think it is partly a reaction to the political landscape of the US right now and a need for more queer

Perverted pedophiles. The head librarian should be immediately fired for bringing that sick freak show into the building and luring children into it.
A growing subset of the same parents who have no problem with their children attending pagan academies aka socialist government schools, are likely to have no problem with this. This sadly includes self-styled Believers who haven’t bothered to read what the Bible says about such things.
This fits in perfectly with just a few of the 1963 Communist Goals...
Head librarian is undoubtedly liberal to allow this.
Who hires and fires librarians is a good question. Could be a civil service kind of position.
Having lived in Texas, have you ever been to Dallas?

Yes. A public library is normally run by a city or county.
My take: it's more of a plant-the-flag thing than something to successfully indoctrinate kids. I mean, who takes their kids to readings at the library anyway? And the only parents/grandparents who'd take their kids to this are the ones who'd indoctrinate them on the same issue some other way if this wasn't available.
But it does allow the LGBTQWERTY lobby to be able to chest-thump and say they scored a victory.
I don’t know where the Dallas question came in. Sorry.
LGBTQWERTY You forgot the ending: LGBTQWERTYFUBAR

Have you ever looked into the backgrounds of public,state, university, college and K-12 school librarians?
Elton John, Ellen DeGeneres and Liberace would seem like run of the mill conformist heterosexual throwbacks to them.
Follow the kids home and see what’s behind the door and then while you are at it check out the kids’ reading material.
Taxpayers in Greenville SC were left with the $50,000 bill needed for security. All in the name of diversity.
A lot of people take their kids to storytimes. They get to sing songs and do crafts. Bookstores have storytimes for kids, too. But I don’t think taking them to see a drag queen is a good idea.

Anyone need additional evidence on how low the BBC has sunk during the past 30 years?
I believe they do this regularly in St. Louis. Sadly, the son of someone I used to know is one of the freaks there.
How about they book some Christian reading hour immediately following the drag queen reading hour, and concentrate on the book of Leviticus?
Imagine looking for approval among a bunch of little kids. How sorry does one have to be to want a child’s affirmation? They are freaks inside and out and they invite others to bear witness to it. The parents are idiots and have not protected their children’s innocence at all. And librarians have been radicalized since the 80’s.
Everyone will deceive his neighbor, And will not speak the truth; They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” says the LORD.
And the indoctrination continues.
