The "Reception" section is heavily biased, and should be edited to include more negative reception for balance. Ideally, positive reception should not include biased sources.
In fact, there's a number of controversies regarding Drag Queen Story Hour which are conspicuously missing as there is no "Controversies" section at all, but that's a different subject.
Is this page a fluff piece? I'm surprised it's not locked yet to protect from any fair edits and additions, but I suspect it may be after I raise these concerns... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.119.57.52 ( talk) 06:03, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Two anonymous users ( first, second) believe that a recent PBS article [1] shows that Drag Queen Story Hour is illegal in Tennessee. Although the article quotes an advocacy group's spokesman's saying: "Rather than focus on actual policy issues facing Tennesseans, politicians would rather spend their time and effort misconstruing age-appropriate performances at a library to pass as many anti-LGBTQ+ bills as they can," the article never says that drag shows, in libraries or elsewhere, are banned; rather, it says that drag performances which are "'harmful to minors'" are banned on "public property or anywhere minors might be present." That's not the same thing. Even if the proposed inference were a reasonable reading of the article (or the statute), it would run afoul of the no-original-research policy, as the conclusion is not "directly support[ed]" by the citation. Accordingly, I propose that we not mention Tennessee's new law.
Another reason some may favor exercising particular caution here is that it appears from other materials that the proponents of this legislation would have liked to outlaw drag entirely. If the public is falsely persuaded that that is what they've done, they will have achieved in practice what they never could have done officially. Rebb ing 22:43, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Canada's first drag story hour seems to predate the listed origin of drag story hour. This should be reflected in the introduction. 70.53.39.17 ( talk) 03:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
