The Sound of SolidarityIn defence of drag queen story timeThe far right have been campaigning against drag queen story time events, cashing in on anti-trans and homophobic ideas. They have forced events that are valued by children, their parents and others to be cancelled or pushed online. This bigotry has to be stopped. We talk first with Dean Arcuri, a cabaret comedian, entertainer and MC, who also performs as his queerer alter ego, Frock Hudson, including at story times. Our second guest is researcher and Solidarity member, Geraldine Fela.
