Kirk Cameron Story Hour Refused by Public Libraries That Host Drag Queen Story HoursFor example, the Rochambeau Public Library in Providence, RI, told Brave, "No, we will pass on having you run a program in our space. We are a very queer-friendly library. Our messaging does not align."

Each of these libraries hosts LGBTQ events, and a branch in San Lorenzo, CA, holds clinics and workshops to help people update their gender on legal documents. The Indianapolis Public Library System said that its current focus was on authors of color. So far, Cameron has found no takers...
