CALENDAR
A lot of LGBTQ+ Pride events are catered towards older
audiences, with many of them taking place in nightclubs
and bars. And although there are events accessible to
those under 21, such as marches and parades, there aren’t
many options specifically catered to younger children.
Luckily, Barnes & Noble’s Eugene location has an event for
all ages to fill that gap. B&N is hosting its first-ever Drag
Queen Storytime on Saturday with local drag queen, The
Empress. The Empress is a part of the Imperial Sovereign
Court of the Emerald Empire (ISCEE), a community service
organization in Eugene that formed in 1974, according to
its website. ISCEE raises money to contribute thousands of
dollars to community and social charities, which benefit both
LGBTQ+ and straight communities, such as Sexual Assault
Support Services (SASS) and HIV Alliance. The Empress
will be reading Recess Queen by Alexis O’Neill, a queer-
friendly children’s story about bullying. People of all gender
expressions, and ages, are welcome. If you end up buying a
book, tell the cashier that you’re there for the event and part
of the proceeds will go to ISCEE. Barnes & Noble will also be
raising money and taking queer-friendly book donations for
Network Charter School’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance that
the school will create in their upcoming fall term.
Drag Queen Storytime starts at noon on Saturday, July 1 at
Barnes & Noble (1163 Valley River Drive). The event is FREE
and open to the public. — Meerah Powell
