Some outside groups don't care that many Huntington Woods residents support Drag Queen Story Time at the city's library.
After dealing with opposition at a city commission meeting Dec. 18, the library finds itself the target of a new group, Warriors for Christ, a Tennessee-based Christian ministry, which plans to attend the next event for a public "rebuke," reports Aleanna Siacon of the Detroit Free Press.
Warriors for Christ — which describes itself on its website as a pre-denominational ministry modeled after "the 1st century church that Jesus founded (which is not the Catholic Church)" — plans to meet at the library at 3 p.m. on Jan. 26 for prayer. This protest coincides with a scheduled Drag Queen Story Time, whose theme is "I Like Me Just the Way I Am!," according to a Facebook event page.
The ministry has started its own Facebook event page, Rebuke Drag Queen Story, to get people to attend the protest.
Another group, Mass Resistance, has previously said it will be protesting the event.
The library and many members of the community have supported the program, saying it promotes tolerance and educates children about differences.
