Montana's new law banning drag reading events at public libraries has led to the cancellation of a Native American transgender speaker in a southwestern Montana city on Friday.
, at the recommendation of county attorneys, library director Stef Johnson said in a statement on the library’s website.
Under the law, “drag queen” is defined as a performer who adopts a “flamboyant … feminine persona with glamorous or exaggerated costumes and makeup.” A “drag story hour” is defined as when a drag king or drag queen reads children’s books and engages in learning activities. Jawort described herself as somewhat of a fashionista who dresses professionally for events, but certainly not in drag.
