A library system spokesperson said that in the three years the library has hosted drag queen story hours, there hasn’t been any significant reaction except for “excited families.” She said she doesn’t know why this event drew protesters.
Protesters and supporters clashed outside the Church on the Square in Southeast Baltimore on Saturday over the drag queen story hour hosted by the Canton branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
“We hosted this one at the Canton branch because our Canton library is very well-attended, and the families there expressed interest in it to our children’s librarian,” McCorkell said. Lau, a trans woman, added that by her fourth drive through, the protesting crowd had dwindled to about five or six people, who Lau said were the most “boisterous” of the group.
Lau saw one sign that read, “Drag Queens Belong In Night Clubs, Not Libraries.” Others referenced corrupting children. Supporters of the drag time story hour and the LGBTQ+ community were gathered by The Parasol Patrol, according to one of its co-founders, Pasha Ripley. Members of The Parasol Patrol use rainbow umbrellas to block children from seeing protesters’ signs and “angry faces,” Ripley said. The umbrellas also shield kids’ faces if they are being recorded by protesters. The group is based in Colorado.
