A Tucson bookstore finally held a drag story hour, postponed in March. But a local church again instigated protests of 'grooming' — ironic since so many churches have had real groomers.
Tim Steller It rarely makes sense to stand for hours alongside the hot pavement on a 110-degree Tucson day.
Bookmans, the local bookstore chain, has held many drag story hours in the past, but it had to postpone this event in March, when it was initially organized, because protests instigated by The Bridge had made the event potentially unsafe, President Sean Feeney said at the time. Around the country, members of the right-wing fight club the Proud Boys and others had been interrupting similar events, intimidating participants and hosts.
Beyond the intricate registration process, there were security guards on site to protect participants, Wilkerson said. About 60 people showed up, maybe 40 percent of them children. Kimberly McAllister, the wife of The Bridge's lead pastor David McAllister, told radio host Garret Lewis in March that she and friends started the protest."They just want to push their adult agenda on children," she said.
There's something else here, though, that is especially annoying: The objections of activists from churches like The Bridge feels so much like projection.
