There’s definitely some negatives about living dangerously close to Houston. Traffic, OMG traffic. Humidity, OMG humidity. Did I mention traffic and humidity?

But there are some sterling things, too. It’s a liberal city and always has been in my lifetime. We elected a lesbian mayor when it was a thing. We are diverse. We are generally friendly unless you whine. We have gorgeous parks scattered everywhere. We have a world class medical center and Rice University. We have a gorgeous skyline and a world champion baseball team. Our food draws on all cultures but you can generally get better Mexican food here than in Mexico City.  There’s a lot to love about Houston.

Especially, this:  there is a Saturday afternoon activity for Houston children at one of the neighborhood libraries.  It’s called the Drag Queen Storytime and it’s delicious!  It is so popular that they keep having to move it to larger locations and you have to get there long before it starts to get in line for a ticket.

So, of course, somebody wants to ruin the fun.  James “Doc” Green is a host for a radio show called “Raging Elephants.”  He has already been warned to stay away from the library where Drag Queen Storytime puts on a show. He’s even been banned by the library from even being on the premises, but he just can’t help himself.

So, he “was detained, disarmed, and escorted out by police on Saturday, Jan. 26, for entering the building and refusing to leave.” It took seven police officers to remove him.  He yelled at the librarian,“We have a bunch of homosexuals that are molesting children. They are doing it with your help.”

I don’t think he understands the whole drag queen thing.  My 5 year old grandson has been to Drag Queen Storytime and he told me it was “cool, because they wear costumes.” I’m proud to tell you that he “gets it.” Maybe he could explain that to Doc.

Thanks to Kary for the heads up.
