A Montreal-area library is holding firm to its decision to host a storytime event with local drag queen Barbada de Barbades, even after receiving criticism on social media.
Although most commenters on the Dorval Library Facebook page were thrilled by the idea, calling it a demonstration of «tolerance and inclusivity», others held different views.
Some critics accused the event of promoting «adult material» to young children, while others resorted to what the library called «disparaging remarks» about the LGBTQ+ community, ctvnews.ca reports.
