The decision comes just days after the council voted 4-3 to remove drag queen story time from the event<\/p>\n

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. \u2013 The Madison Heights City Council reversed course, voting unanimously to restore a drag queen story time event to the city\u2019s Arts and Pride celebration after removing it earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

In a 6-0 vote on Friday (June 5) afternoon, council members approved moving the event forward to Saturday\u2019s festivities. <\/p>\n

The decision comes just days after the council voted 4-3 to remove drag queen story time from the event, sparking controversy and drawing public attention.<\/p>\n

Under the revised plan, the story time performance will be held inside the Jaycee Building at Civic Center Park rather than outdoors.<\/p>\n
