The Deplorable Housewives of the Midwest

"Peggy Tierney, a slight woman in her 60’s who is hearing impaired, was stunned by her treatment when she attended the Drag Queen Story Hour event at the Richfield Public Library on Saturday morning. “I went to the Drag Queen Story Hour event by myself to observe,” said Tierney. “This is my neighborhood. I grew up here. When I arrived, I thought I might as well get a new library card. After that, things went downhill fast.” The Youth Services Librarian used Tierney’s personal information on her library card to doxx her to activists attending the event.

"Youth Services Librarian, Alison Reiter (the woman pictured with bangs introducing the Drag Queen seen in the photo below) approached Peggy after she had applied for a new library card. “Everyone knows who you are. You are Peggy Tierney.” Tierney, not easily cowed, asked Reiter if she was a public library employee or an activist to which Reiter replied, “Both!”
