Bristol Pride slams Drag Queen Story Hour protesters

Organisers of Bristol Pride have condemned the attacks and protests against a Drag Queen Story Hour event tour in Bristol which saw some of the readings for parents and children cancelled.

In a statement, Bristol Pride said that children ‘are not born with hatred, they learn it’, and supported the libraries for putting on the events to ‘showcase inclusion and diversity’.

A Bristol-born drag queen, Aida, was booked for her children’s story time hour at six libraries across Bristol over two days - today and yesterday - but a couple of events were cancelled because of protests and counter-protests outside.
