Leaflets have been posted through letterboxes in people's houses, offices and local libraries targeting a children's storyteller with homophobic abuse. A photo of drag queen Aida H Dee has been paired with the comments "protect our children" plastered underneath in a leaflet that appears to have been produced by far-right group Patriotic Alternative.
Aida H Dee, also known as Sab Samuel, is the creator and drag queen behind Drag Queen Story Hour UK, which aims to engage children's creativity and love for reading stories. In recent days, leaflets repeating common homophobic slurs have been posted through people's doors in Cardiff claiming the storyteller, who has won awards for their community work, is attempting to "sexualise children".
With a string of false and defamatory innuendos linking drag queens to "sexualising" children, the words on the back of the leaflet also claims that children are being "indoctrinated" by LGBT+ inclusive lessons and that it is "child abuse". The leaflet reads: "Drag queen story hour is yet another attempt to sexualise children...Subjecting children to these 'lessons' and forcing them through 'LGBT indoctrination sessions' is nothing short of child abuse."
