Security camera video shows someone slowly toilet papering a fence as another scribbles slurs on the pavement.
"Drag story hour...celebrates love, joy, and literacy for our children," Krishnan said.
Councilman Krishnan represents Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, Queens. He says his support for drag story hour - in which a person in drag reads children's books to kids at a public library - has made him a target. Over the last six months, there have been 11 separate acts of vandalism at his office, his home, and at libraries in both communities.
"We have to stand together to make sure that our neighbors do not feel threatened or menaced and we especially stand for our LGBTQA+ community," Krishnan said. Last month, anti-drag protestors showed up outside a library in Manhattan and two were arrested for trespassing, accused of harassing another city council member - Eric Boetcher, at his home."It reflects exactly the kind of inclusivity and tolerance we should be teaching our children," said Krishnan.
