Decision by Leeds City Council to cancel drag queen story hour was the wrong one - YEP letters
and live on Freeview channel 276
Anthony Silson, Bramley
Leeds City Council has a policy of accepting diversity. Libraries were clearly out of order in not following this policy.
They should not have caved in to pressure from just one councillor and a small group which appears to be opposed to LGBT+ people.
It is right that diversity is included in our National Curriculum, and wrong that libraries stopped a drag queen from appearing online.
