City officials in Leander, Texas found themselves mired in controversy after the city’s library announced that it would host a “Drag Queen Story Hour” event. Then, a church in the community announced they would rent a room at the library and host the event themselves. Open Cathedral, a relatively new church which meets in a local elementary school, will host the event on June 15thbecause “We must never stop striving for safe spaces for our kids to be unique and loved no matter what.” The church’s pastor, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, said he founded the church because he “was tired of church sucking.” On its website, the church claims to be “open and affirming,” saying that they want “to be ever more open to and affirming of all people by embracing similarities and embracing differences in age, race, ethnicity, income level, ability, sexual orientation and gender expression.”

The phrase "Wolves in sheep's clothing" comes to mind...

It's amazing how this issue is downplayed in the article. Saying something like, "they’re just getting dressed up and reading a book and it’s honestly no different than if a character from one of these (library) books came out and somebody had dressed up as that character to read." Could this project be any more grossly understated?
It made me think of Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mmm, boy, as bad as that is, I can't begin to imagine how bad Jesus is going to make it for the person who "shall offend one of these little ones" because it is surely going to be worse. Our children are being so corrupted by adults who should have nothing but their best interests at heart. It's so sad. (Words fail me.)
