Sab Samuel, whose drag name is Aida H Dee, reveals how he hated himself while growing up because he believed being gay was negative - and didn't have a single LGBTQ role model as a child.
Sab Samuel - who performs as the drag artist - said the day was"awesome" with"no disruptions" to the readings.
On Sunday, Samuel said the drag readings for children were an important topic but had been"completely blown out of proportion" by protesters. "Femininity is not just something to be tolerated, just like LGBTQ, we want to embrace it, it's fabulous, why wouldn't we?"
