Drag queen Aida H Dee has been left fearing for her life after a right-wing mob stormed a recent Drag Queen Story Hour UK event.

Alarming video footage seen by PinkNews shows 25 protesters storming Reading Central Library on Monday morning (25 July) and hurling homophobic slurs at Dee, a 27-year-old author known off-stage as Sab Samuel, as well as parents, guardians and children.

As part of Drag Queen Story Hour UK’s programming, Samuel and other drag performers read to children and their families in libraries, bookstores and schools to promote diversity and kindness.

But at the first stop of his summer tour, in which he’ll visit 69 libraries up and down the country until September, protesters met Samuel with placards reading “nonce upon a time” and barked insults into megaphones so they could be heard through the library windows.

The crowd heckled families as they entered the library. They held up a banner in front of police guarding the entrance reading “Welcome, Groomers” while accusing parents of not protecting their children by taking them to see a “sex worker” and a “paedophile”.

One video captured the moment when, in the middle of the Drag Queen Story Hour session attended by children as young as three, two protesters broke into the room.

“This is disgusting. He’s a child groomer. This is child grooming,” one of the protesters yelled as children screamed and one mother began crying.

NEW: #SovereignCitizens attempt to enter a library to arrest a Drag Queen.

Protestors harass parents as they walk in, accusing them of taking their kids to see a ‘paedophile’.
