Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) invited a drag queen to read to children at city hall after a library pulled its sponsorship for her “Drag Queen Story Hour” event.

“Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker and all of our LGBTQ friends are always welcome at Atlanta City Hall. How about we host your next story hour? @CityofAtlanta—let’s make it happen! #OneAtlanta ,” Bottoms tweeted Friday.

The event Bottoms offered to host is part of a national “Drag Queen Story Hour” movement that promotes events at local libraries in which drag queens read to children.

Miss Terra Cotta Sugarbaker, the drag persona of 40-year-old Buford native Steven Igarashi-Ball, has held story time at the local library for more than a year and a half, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
