Tate Britain carnage as violent clash breaks out over art gallery’s drag queen event for children Protesters and counter-protesters clashed outside the art gallery
by Dan Falvey, GB News:
Violent clashes took place outside the Tate Britain in London today at a protest against the art gallery hosting a drag queen story-telling event for children.
The Tate was hosting Drag Queen Story Hour UK on Saturday, with tales told by author Aida H Dee, who the gallery’s website describes as “the first drag artist in Europe to read stories to children in a nursery”.
The drag queen was staging three story-telling sessions on Saturday, at 11am, noon and 2pm.
Protesters opposed to the event demonstrated outside the building, holding signs reading: “No drag for kids!” and “Leave our kids alone!”
The scene turned violent when those in attendance clashed with counter-protesters.
