A Georgia drag queen invited to read to children at the library said he feels discriminated against after the upcoming story time activity was removed from an events calendar.

Steven Igarashi-Ball, who performs in drag mostly for charity as Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker, said he’s confused by the situation.

He says he was invited to perform by the staff at the Alpharetta library branch, part of Fulton County’s library system. But he says the county library system removed the April 27 “Drag Queen Story Time” from its events calendar.
