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.'

I think you are misunderstanding the use of escort. They weren’t removed. They were leaving after their “show” and were escorted for their own safety.

The question is not whether drag queens should read to children but WHY do drag queens want to read to children.

Topper Harley: That’s right, Cindy. It’s twenty three minutes past the hour, and now here’s the Buckinghams with “Kind of a Drag”

Exactly. And what kind of parents would expose their children to this perversion?

I was hoping the story was about how the police dragged them outside for a little hickory hairstyling, but no such luck. Not likely in Ireland these days.

“protesters shouting ‘leave our kids alone’ confronted them outside”

OK, how to interpret that?

1. Liberal kooks screeching “leave our kids alone! Let them hear the inclusive tranny freaks.

2. Conservatives yelling “Leave our kids alone. Do not indoctrinate them. Get AWAY from our children.”

I THINK it’s #2, but I’m not sure.

It’s all about get em’ while they’re young, and the younger the better. When we decades ago accused the homosexual movement of trying to groom our kids into homosexuality and other perversions we were vilified, but now we can all see we were 100% right. That’s exactly what they’re trying to do. Society was tolerant for a very long time, we can now clearly see what that tolerance has led to. Soon enough they’ll have their wretched hands down our children’s pants and worse. People need to wise up and quit playing fools for these monsters.

They need to be stopped cold and now. Unfortunately the only thing they’ll understand is force.

It’s #2 for sure, the police were called to protect the fags from the angry citizens. We need to see far more of this everywhere. People should never stand for a movement to corrupt little children. It’s wrong on every imaginable level.

Why donโ€™t these liberal dipsticks ever do this on their own time and their own dime? Warp your own kids, if you must, but keep it out of public, taxpayer-funded institutions.
