Moment police escorted two drag queens from children's story telling event as angry protesters shouting 'leave our kids alone' confronted them outside
Daily Mail UK ^ | August 5, 2025 | Martin Robinson

Police have escorted two drag queens from a public library where they had been running a storytelling event for children after angry protesters gathered outside.

Drag Queen Story Time at Holywood Arches Library in Belfast featured Lady Portia Di'Monte, known as the 'North Ireland's First Lady of Drag', and Miss Dora Belle.

The ticket-only event was advertised as 'suitable for all ages and families' and to 'champion individuality and inclusivity amongst its young audiences, featuring sing-alongs and dancing.'

Lady Portia read storybooks to the children, including family favourites such as Dear Zoo, while Miss Dora Belle narrated them with British Sign Language (BSL).

Parents protested outside the library before the police were called to escort the two drag artists away and appeared to have given them a lift.

There were no arrests but Northern Ireland's communities minister Gordon Lyons has said the event was 'not appropriate for children' and 'should not have taken place'.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said: 'Police attended a report of a small demonstration at the Holywood Arches area of east Belfast on Friday August 1, shortly after 1.40pm and engaged with those present.

'Two people were escorted from the building to further ensure that there would be no breach of the peace.

'At this stage, no offences were determined to have taken place.'

Why don’t these drag queens want to read to the elderly in assisted living?

Now, isn’t THAT an excellent question!!


Matthew 10:33-35
Amplified Bible

33 But the one who denies and rejects Me before men,
that one I will also deny and reject
before My Father Who is in Heaven.

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring Peace on the Earth;
I have not come to bring Peace, but a Sword
[of Division between Belief and UnBelief].

35 For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

Still not sure (and I’m not going to “Google it”) why they call it “drag” but they sure seem to be a drag on society.

I don’t care what anyone says, gays are all wannabe pedophiles. It’s only current laws that hold them back.

These people are deranged.

This poor kid had a parent that brought him to this event, but it is pretty clear from his body language that he knows that there is something wrong here.

This is so sad.

“Suitable for all ages”??? How about “Not Suitable”..period?
People who treat kids to this crap should be locked up.

I fear that we will be called to account someday for allowing this to happen. I hope not.

Why don't drag queens read stories to adults? Old folks homes?

Whenever one of these sick freaks tries that little "Drag Queen Story Hour" grooming bit, adults need to run them off before they get within 100 miles of a child.

Like THIS?

James 4:17 NIV

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.

or THIS?

In the Bible, a watchman is a person assigned to observe and warn others of impending danger, often used metaphorically to describe a spiritual role in guiding and protecting a community. Key verses include Ezekiel 3:17, where God appoints Ezekiel as a watchman for Israel, emphasizing the responsibility to warn people of their sins and the consequences of inaction.

...adults need to run them off ...


These are, evidently, in very short supply these days.
