Protesters fight outside Drag Queen Story Hour at Ontario Library

A Drag Queen Story Hour at the Middlesex County Library in Parkhill, Ontario recently became the venue of a clash between protesters and counter-protesters. Two drag queens read stories to children while around to two dozen protestors converged with signs and were vocal in opposition outside.

Protesters like Bubba Pollack raised concern over the “sexualizing” of the drag queens’ outfits during the event. Protesters blared a siren from a megaphone as families attempted to go inside the library. They were escorted from the parking lot to the event by Strathroy Pride, while three OPP officers blocked the door inside.

A group of self-proclaimed protectors known as the ‘Wind Sisters’ formed a chain in front of the entrance. Patricia Ginn, a member of the motorcycle group, revealed that they came to show support and help the community celebrate its inclusivity. The Wind Sisters, who have more than 4,500 members in Canada and the U.S., came from southwestern Ontario to man the entrance.

Ginn, who has been a butch for 50 years, talked about her life-long struggles as a young tomboy that had to hide in the closet. She became emotional when talking about her experiences, saying, “We didn’t come out to big events like this.” 

Frank Emanuel, Strathroy Pride’s Director, raised concern for families that had to walk through the protestors outside the library. He said: “We want to be supportive to everybody that’s brave enough to come to these events. We want to make sure they feel protected.”

Attendees were escorted by Strathroy Pride from the parking lot to the event to ensure their safety.
