Store owner Taylor Jordan values the right for free speech and public comment, but said next month's drag storytime will go on as planned.
“It’s really important to me that I allow commenting on all of my posts and events, and I try to not delete very many because people are able to actually voice how they feel about something,” Jordan said. “That is an important thing — that everyone gets a say.”
The reviews put a small blemish on the store’s 5-year-long run of 5-star ratings. One reviewer on Facebook stated that she formerly frequented the small bookshop and even made a number of donations totaling hundreds of dollars, but said that with the store’s “recent decision to bring drag queens in to read to children I will not be supporting this book store any longer.”
“I’m comfortable with that because that’s what this space is,” Jordan said. “Everybody should be comfortable to come here, but everybody gets a say regardless.” “There’s such a large group in this community, and sometimes they feel like they don’t have a safe space,” Jordan said. “I’m delighted to accommodate whatever anybody needs.”
