"Sidetrack Bookshop #DRAGISNOTACRIME" T-Shirt, 2023
01
Artifact Overview
On March 11, 2023, Sidetrack Bookshop in Royal Oak, MI hosted a drag queen storytime event. Despite threats of a large conservative protest, those opposed were in the "dozens" according to news sources, far outnumbered by counter-protesting allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community. These shirts were sold as a fundraiser and worn to show support for drag performers.
