Lancaster Pride's "Drag Story Hour with Miss Amie" was canceled amidst protests and threats, emphasizing community safety. Despite efforts to promote diversity and acceptance, opposition labeled it a "woke ideology." Tensions escalated at county meetings, with residents denouncing the event as unsuitable for children. A suspicious package triggered a library evacuation, though deemed harmless. Residents faced disruption as nearby blocks were evacuated. The library’s Executive director Lissa Holland expressed disappointment, highlighting the event's importance. Reflecting on a similar incident in New Jersey, where a threatened LGBTQ+ center defiantly hosted a Drag Queen Story Hour, resilience in the face of adversity shines. The struggle for inclusivity continues, despite challenges.
