Ohio library cancels ‘Drag 101’ class after getting threats

DELAWARE, Ohio (AP) — Telephone threats have led an Ohio county library outside Columbus to cancel an upcoming class aimed at teenagers about how to dress in drag.

Delaware County District Library Director George Needham announced Wednesday the cancellation of a “Drag 101” class led by drag queen Selena West.

Needham says the library received hostile and angry phone calls from community members that threatened the safety of staff and teens.

West says the class, which was scheduled for June 5, will now be held that day at Secret Identity Comics in Delaware.
