Red Oak Community School and the First Unitarian Universalist Church had advertised its Holi-Drag story time charity event for kids last month. Shortly after, members of the Proud Boys announced plans to disrupt the event, Right Wing Watch first reported.
On Saturday, scores of Proud Boys dressed in the signature black and yellow uniforms and members of Patriot Front, some of whom were armed, rallied outside of the First Unitarian Universalist Church, which was hosting the event. Alleging that the story time event amounts to groomingthe rhetoric at the heart of recent political attacks on LGBTQ peoplethe Proud Boys held signs with messages like, Groomers make Santa sad and Groomers go home. Another read Proud Boys Story Hour Todays Book Death of the West Chapter 9, in an apparent reference to a book authored by far-right activist Pat Buchanan, who fearmongers about immigrants replacing Americas white majority.
Other videos show Proud Boys members dancing to the YMCA, the unofficial LGBTQ anthem, and a police officer acknowledging that he high-fived a Proud Boy because he had complimented his mustache.

(82,849 posts)The crunchy granola soy boys in Portland proved to be a little tougher than they thought. They're going to find out the same thing about their next target, and find out just what the difference is between bullying what you think is a soft target versus people who've fought their entire lives to be who they are.

50, 60, 70 people dragging the bois in a counter-direction would be so camp.
