ORLANDO, Fla. — The LGBT+ Center Orlando canceled Monday a weekend drag queen story hour for youngsters after receiving on-line threats from Nazis and different extremist teams, in response to the group’s government director.
Seventy-five kids and their mother and father purchased tickets to the “Drag Queen Story Hour” occasion with Bridgette Galore Oct. 29 on the Center off Mills Avenue, stated George Wallace, the middle’s government director.
