San Lorenzo drag queen storytime hijacked by Proud Boys
ebar.comKids attending a drag queen story hour at the San Lorenzo public library in the East Bay were confronted by right-wing protesters June 11, as alleged members of the Proud Boys barged in and harassed drag queen Panda Dulce as she was reading to the children."So who brought the tranny?" they yelled, according to KQED.
They also called her "it" and a "pedophile."Dulce said she was shaken by the experience."I didn't know if they were armed. I was only acutely aware of the fact that neither myself nor any of the other librarians were," she told KQED, which also quoted Dulce saying on her Instagram account the men "totally freaked out the kids.
They got right in our faces. They jeered. They attempted to escalate to violence."Alameda County Sheriff's officers responded quickly to the Saturday afternoon incident.
While no one was injured and no arrests were made, the Alameda County district attorney is presently searching through the penal code addressing incidents like this to determine what actions they might be able to take, sheriff's office public information officer Lieutenant Ray Kelly told the Bay Area Reporter.
