Supporters from across Leeds are planning to rally this weekend to protect a family event that has been subjected to far-right protests around the country.
Drag Queen Story Hour is taking place this weekend in Leeds on Saturday, August 6. As part of their summer 2022 tour, drag queens will perform stories focusing on how it's okay to be different at three libraries around Leeds for children and parents.
The tour started in Reading on July 25 and has gone to several cities already - but homophobic far-right groups of protesters have turned up at events in Kent, Bristol and Reading claiming the events are 'sexualising their children'.
