Drag queen Tori Tia had just finished reading her first book to the 20 children in attendance when the disruption happened.
A drag queen story time event this week at a Campbell bookstore was brought to a halt when protesters disrupted it and berated the host, organizers said.
Tori Tia did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Mercury News, but told NBC Bay Area that the man was “saying some really transphobic stuff.” “All of the anti-LGBT protesters outside with their signs,” Suriben said. “One of the signs said ‘groomer’ with an X through it, and another said ‘protect childhood.’”
“It drowned it out, and all the parents and all the kids are singing it super loud — I could tell some of the parents wanted to yell too, but we’re going to keep it positive, we’re going to keep it loving,” Stern said.
