Stockholm's deputy mayor hosts drag queen story hour

Sweden's public libraries have been hosting drag queen story hours for some years now. The popular events have drag queens read to children and host other educational activities. But since last autumn, some far-right protestors have started to try and disrupt the events. In response, Stockholm's deputy mayor, Jan Jönsson, decided to dress up himself in drag and host one of these events himself. He tells OS's Peter Okwoche why.
