Moderately terrifying to see this now happening in the UK.
Organised groups of far-right activists, or people indoctrinated by them, going to harass parents and children in order to “save” them, with repeated threats of assault and kidnap. It’s stochastic terrorism, plain and simple.
This is only going to get worse while our lives are used as political footballs. I don’t know how the deradicalisation happens, but it needs to start soon.
We are legit seeing the resurgence of any and all LGBT people and even transvestites being smeared as “pedos”, “predators”, “groomers”. I feel physically sick.
Congratulations, these people are now importing what has turned to terrorism in other countries who have allowed these Far Right crazies the freedom to admit their hate.
This is why its so dangerous when people say things like ‘we just want to protect children, we are not anti-trans’. Its hiding behind a seemingly reasonable statement but what they’re actually implying is that trans people are a threat to children. Its chilling how similar it is to the anti-homosexuality movements of previous decades.
and yes, I know drag queens are not trans but the type of people protesting these events tend to lump them together.
These people are the real illness and detriment to society.
What the fuck is wrong with people? Drag has been near mainstream in the UK for my entire life, from Dame Edna, Lily Savage, near every sketch show, and pantomimes, most kids will have been entertained by a drag queen at some point in their lives.
This is the next step after trans hatred, then they’ll be coming for any LGB person. The vitriolic “debate” about trans people has led us to this point
What’s more upsetting for children:
Being present at an event their parent consented them to be at?
Or
A mob kicking off, making everyone in the room tense?
Society doesn’t need knuckledraggers “saving” us. Away and fuck off and protect statues or something.
Far-right self-described patriots and hating on well-established British traditions like drag culture, name a more iconic duo.
For real though this has been a really targeted campaign for [quite some time](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/drag-queen-storyteller-targeted-far-24242453) now. Good on Sab Samuel for their responses and light-hearted approach throughout but we do start to reach a point where trying to be tolerant and inclusive is just going to give one of them a chance to get violent.
We need a really strong reaction against these twonks to show them unequivocally that the “silent majority” is *against* them not with them on this as with so many issues.
E – I will add though the projection is pretty hilarious given they’re far more likely to be pedos than a drag queen or trans person given how often these far-right groups seem to have countless nonces in their ranks once the tiniest bit of a spotlight gets shone their way.
Have they never seen a fucking panto? Drag has been a thing in family entertainment since forever – and statistically speaking, any kiddy fiddlers in the room will be the knuckledraggers who can’t stand to see the Britain that only ever existed in their heads vanish.
I assume anyone who calls drag queens pedophiles like this…probably trying to distract from their own hard drives.
Lovely, American hatred has made it to the UK
Mi5 needs to role up these alt right groups, gender crit groups and stem of the $700m dollars the European investigation has found to have been pouring in to fund them from American, and Russian ultra conservatives and evangelical groups.
Karen asking for thr police manager, thick as mince.
I do wonder how many of these headbangers have convictions for violent offences.
I can’t believe this shit has spilled over to Britain.
The Far Right can fuck right off.
Get them all for slander. Bankrupt them.
So these idiots are forgetting about Panto shows‽
I bet these types also complain about a lack of good male role models for their sons, while calling any male primary teacher a paedophile. These types seem afraid of any man who just likes to be around children, which might imply something about themselves more than anything else.
Drag is a bit of harmless fun. It might not be for everyone but it is very much not paedophilia in any sense and family-friendly drag has been a thing in the UK for decades. They have not saved kids from a paedophile, they have just ruined a nice day out.
I was out counter-protesting the group at a different library earlier today. They’ve proper lost it. Anti-vax, New World Order satanic cult, ‘all politicians and the entire royal family are paedophiles’, lost it. Fucking danger, that Chaves man.
I think what’s more harmful to kids is the yob outside the library shouting at people
Baselessly associating LGBT people with paedophilia or child grooming is a nasty slander that I thought we’d moved past in the UK but unfortunately homophobes.amd transphobes seem more emboldened to spread their hatred than they have in years.
I remember drag queens coming into schools when I was younger, they were usually there to do plays along with puppets. Literally no one said anything or gave a shit
Pantomime, you mean?
Needs a Trans Defense League
This is very disturbing.
​
I feel the best thing we can do is start an anti-protest.
Where ever Aida will be speaking, we should have lots of supporters in drag show up and hang around outside.
With flowers, positivity and definitions of paedophilia and drag queens on double sided A4 pages for all the little boys who show up and don’t understand the difference.
These right wing arseholes that claim they’re protecting kids…always seem like the sort that would then go home and physically/emotionally abuse their own.
Well then panto is gonna be interesting this year
I know a very sensible, smart person who started having anti-trans thoughts and opinions until they snapped out of it and realized they’ve been somewhat isolated and consuming “news” that was full of that sort of propaganda.
Most of us are susceptible to propaganda if the situation is right.
‘I’m going to protect these kids by screaming in their faces and making threats towards the adults looking after me’
Fucking barbarians.
Yet, people like this probably have no problem with Mrs Browns Boys.
The UK is unrecognisable from 10 years ago (unless I’m being overly nostalgic?)

**Edit:** it seems this is now happening again in Crewe, with the fascist group Patriotic Alternative involved: https://twitter.com/WhatTheTrans/status/1552209892664033282
