The promo for the event clearly showed a grown adult in a rainbow monkey costume with a swinging phallus between their legs. It seems clear that everyone involved in planning the event knew full well that a man in a buttless, rainbow monkey costume would be employed to swing his phallus around to help promote children's literacy. A man dressed in a rainbow monkey costume with his butt exposed and a large dildo hanging between his legs, was part of an event to encourage kids to read. However, when they promoted the event, they were shameless about it. They said that the "Medelsome Monkey" made a visit to the Goodmayes Library along with Royal Strawberry and Flamboyant Frog, and that these characters would soon "head your way." During her Pride performance, Christina also made space for other surprise guests like including Paris Hiltonand Mya and played a powerful video montage condemning Florida's Parental Rights in Education law, which critics have dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

The Redbridge Libraries Summer Reading Challenge left parents confused and outraged after the rainbow monkey man in a buttless suit was brought in to promote literacy and the summer reaching challenge to kids, the dildo swinging freely from his genital area. They did a drag queen story hour at the library earlier this year https://t.co/AbXVQCgj1Z— ripx4nutmeg (@ripx4nutmeg) July 11, 2021 The library did apologize, but not after photos and a video emerged online showing the furry, pornographic creature in the library dancing around.

Christina Aguilera slayed the L.A. Pride stage at Los Angeles State Historic Park on June 11, performing her biggest bops and werking a series of wild outfits inspired by the colors of the rainbow. During an event put on at the library today there was a performance by a Carnival Arts Company. Unfortunately one of the animal costumes was inappropriate which we were not aware of at the time of booking. We deeply apologise for the offence caused. This is being looked into— Redbridge Libraries (@RedbridgeLibs) July 10, 2021We never intended to offend residents," they said of the man in the monkey costume who swung his dildo around both inside the library and outside as part of the promotion.
