Three people were arrested Sunday, April 23, outside Fort Brewery and Pizza during a drag show at the venue after a counter-protester allegedly sprayed mace on protesters with the anti-LGBTQ group Protect Texas Kids, according to a press release from Fort Worth Police Department.
According to police, a “small group” of Protect Texas Kids protesters showed up at Fort Brewery on Sunday to stage a protest across the street from the restaurant, located at 2737 Tillar Street, west of downtown Fort Worth.
A group described by police as counter-protesters also showed up, dressed in black, wearing helmets and tactical vests. The counter-protesters — many of whom were armed with handguns and long guns, police said — lined up in front of the business.
