Drag artists are known for a multitude of things; great looks, sickening performances, reading everyone in the building, and much more. They love giving back to the community and as an added bonus get to do so while showing off their art. Self-expression is the base of what makes all of us our authentic selves and shows children that there are ways to stand up for yourself and your community.

On Saturday, March 11, Sidetrack Bookshop in Royal Oak decided to host a Drag Queen story time for local children. This event gained the attention of various right wing conservative groups that do not support the LGBTQ+ community and protest our events. Within hours of posts being shared and TikTok’s announcing these protest plans, multiple counter protests were planned gaining the attention of thousands. I arrived about an hour before the event was set to begin and crowds were already gathering at the Washington & Fourth street intersection of Downtown Royal Oak. Within an hour you could barely see the front of businesses due to the size of the crowds supporting this event. The goals of counter protesters were the same; make sure the queens and children attending the event were safe, and show protesters that hate won’t win. When there was no longer any room inside of Sidetrack Bookshop, drag performers who were there to support their friends and fellow artists began reading to those children that weren’t able to make it inside for the event. Neighboring businesses offered coffee and other refreshments to those attending and opened their doors to act as warming stations and allow supporters to use their restrooms. People were not only supporting Sidetrack Bookshop, but were supporting one another and showing the children in attendance how love and support can be turned into action.

While other states are restricting and banning drag performances, supporters rallied around this quaint little bookshop, drag queens, and one another to show that hate in fact won’t win and on this day it didn’t.
