The program brings drag queens to libraries across Toronto to read to children, and foster acceptance and diversity. Afterwards, the kids and queens dance and sing together, according to the Globe and Mail .

The Toronto Public Library's drag queen storytime is angering Christians on the influential pro-life website LifeSiteNews.

LifeSiteNews blogger and communications director for the pro-life Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform Jonathon Van Maren isn't happy about that.

"Drag queens at public libraries: the new strategy to indoctrinate kids and sideline Christians," reads the title of a blog by Van Maren.

Similar programs in many cities

Van Maren also calls out similar programs in other Canadian and American cities, declaring that libraries are no longer safe.

"LGBT activists are determined to teach their ideology to children, and have focused their efforts on infiltrating the public school system, influencing the sex education curriculum, and ensuring that the concepts such as gender fluidity are taught from the earliest possible age."

He wraps up with: "Drag queens and children's stories about transgenderism are in—and so, again, at yet another venue—Christian parents must be out."

His viewpoint is not isolated.

"They are trying to break down children's natural (God given) repulsion of unnatural acts. This is the very definition of grooming," one person commented.

This type of backlash is fairly common for organizers of such storytime programs to hear.

"Unfortunately, this type of reaction doesn't surprise me, however, it is completely overshadowed by the amount of love, and respect that these programs receive, not only in Toronto, but all over the world," EastToronto Drag Queen Storytime co-founder Dani Stover told BlogTO.
