Even a couple of hecklers couldn’t ruin the festive atmosphere as drag story time made its fabulous debut in Liverpool as part of Pride celebrations on the South Shore.
The event, dubbed Reading with Royalty, featured Rouge Fatale, one of Nova Scotia’s best known drag performers, and drag king Rhett Torical.
They were at the Thomas H. Raddall Library on Thursday afternoon to read to and sing along with about 20 kids and their parents, grandparents and others.
Two women stood outside the building yelling insults at Rouge and Rhett. They later went into the library to watch. Staff had to ask one of them to leave after she appeared to be taking photos of the crowd.
That didn’t stop Rouge and Rhett from reading such books as My Shadow is Purple and The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish, which was also one of the singalongs.
