A Drag Queen Was Interrupted By A Right-Wing Group During A Library’s Story Hour, And Police Are Investigating

A group of men described by police as members of the Proud Boys interrupted a Drag Queen Story Hour at a Bay Area library Saturday, and authorities are now investigating the incident as a potential hate crime.

Panda Dulce, the queen leading story hour at the San Lorenzo Library, told BuzzFeed News that just as she was introduced, the men entered the library yelling anti-trans and anti-gay slurs. Video of the incident reviewed by BuzzFeed News shows five men, one of whom wears a T-shirt with an image of an AR-15 and the text "Kill your local pedophile." The video shows the men arguing with adults that the story hour is "sexual" and a threat to children, and several of them are wearing black and yellow, the colors adopted by the Proud Boys.
