Drag Queen Story Hour Performer Claims He Is a 'Role Model' for Children

A "queer" drag queen story hour performer has claimed that he is a "role model" who can help children begin "living their true selves".

Sab Samuel, who performs under the name Aida H Dee in drag queen story hour performances, has described himself as being a "role model" for children and young people.

It comes after the performer hosted three drag queen story hour sessions at the Tate Britain gallery in England, prompting protests from both pro and anti-trans campaigners, who ended up clashing outside of the venue.

According to a report by The Telegraph, Samuel rejected any suggestion that drag queen story hour could be damaging to children, saying that he wanted to be a "role model" for children with the performances.

In particular, the performer described some youngsters as "coming out" to him after one reading, saying that they go on to live happy lives due to the influence of the events.

"[T]he catalyst to them living their true selves was coming to Drag Queen Story Hour," Samuel, who is described by Tate Britain as being "the first drag artist in Europe to read stories to children in a nursery", reportedly said.

The "queer hero of literature" went on to say that they were a good "role model" for children in that he enabled them to be true to themselves, adding that he wants to be the kind of person he believes he needed in his youth.

"I hated myself growing up because I thought being gay was negative," he said. " All I want to do is be the role model that I wish I had when I was five years old."
