NYC supported Drag Queen Story Hour Continues at 20th St Library

March 4, 2023.
Andrew Heiskell Library For the Blind-NYC

Another inappropriate Drag Queen Story Hour at 11 AM was protested by the Guardians of Divinity who continue to oppose this misuse of public funds.

Councilman Erik Bottcher and State Sen, Brad Holyman (both gay activists) were on-site, defending these Story Hours as harmless, while accusing the protesters of being "Faces of HATE".

The Antifa aggressors along with the Rise and Resist leftists assembled claim to protecting the children from the" Save The Children" protestors. But, as usual, they are the aggressors,  physically assaulting the Guardians.

The Guardians continue to ask, "WHY is a grown man dressed as a woman, reading LGBTQ books c to CHILDREN?"

The high dudgeon exhibited by the leftists begs the question, "Would Christians be allowed to read their books with the same support from the city .... like the Drag Queens?"

FLICKR Slide Shows - Part 1 . Guardians of Divinity gathered to Save The Children and to Let Kids Be Kids. The Councilman slandered them as Faces Of Hate: even though their signs are not filled with hate, but concern for the children.

 

Part 2 Around 10:30 am. Rise and resist/ antifa thugs blocked the sidewalks and assaulted a Guardian who had arrived early to protest. The cops were in a van so they saw the assault and stopped the Antifas as soon as it started. ( no arrests) and of course the lefties still hung around like they owned the street.

 

Part 3 The Rise and Resist Lefties and their Antifa aggressors gathered  mostly in front of the library, but always spill across the street; keeping the NYPD busy attempting to keep them under control.Joining them was the bared chested Crackhead Barney(dressed in religious garb as she had come from the early morning PRO Abortion rally) And Councilman Bottcher and State Sen Holyman, continued the lie that the  protestors were "Faces of HATE".

Part 4 So many police on the street and NYPD on scooters. The only issues requiring the police  were recreated by the Antifas, and were handled quickly by the police. But, Councilman Bottcher must have needed the photo-op, cause the amount of police made no sense. Mayor Adams could use the NYPD presence better to curb the growing street crime around the city. Also, working the police as usual, was reporter Talia, who pressures the police with her demands and works to have any press she doesn't approve of, shut down. Always  busy walking back and forth, like a pit boss. AND, of course, Councilman Bottcher can be observed watching and talking to his friendly media about his "Faces of Hate"

.Four short Videos-  Part 1 -  Drag Queen Story Hour returned to the Andrew Heiskell Library for the Blind.  In this clip,the Rise and Resit/ Antifa's blocked the sidewalks and assaulted a Guardian who had arrived early. I saw the assault but camera wasn't on. The Police were sitting in a van at the corner, so as soon as the antifas struck, the cops put an end to the confrontation (though the lefties continued to block the sidewalk)

Part 2  The Guardians gathered to Save The Children and to Let Kids Be Kids, escorted by the NYPD ... to keep the Antifas from assaulting them. Unfortunately, the Councilman continues to slander them as Faces Of Hate. But, their signs are not filled with hate. It is concern for the children.

Part 3 - The Guardians of Divinity gathered across from the Andrew Heiskell Library .Their signs were not filled with hate. TTheir signs: "Save The Children" and "Let Kids Be Kids". and ''Stop Confusing the Kids" The Councilman continues to mislabel them as Faces Of Hate when their signs are not filled with hate. It is concern for the children.

Part 4 -   Stop Drag Queen Story Hour because it is inappropriate for children. That was why they chanted " Shut It Down" . Though accused of being "Faces of Hate" by the local Councilman, their signs show otherwise. They say it is about concern for the children.

And coming up next is a NYC supported 4 Part MARATHON of Drag Queens reading to children . On Sunday, March 19th- From 11 am to 3 pm. Supported not only by NY's local politicians but even (shamefully) Letitia James, NY Attorney General (taking a break from harassing President Trump)

Eve though Drag queen story hours for kids have been held at public libraries across the city since 2017, the events have recently drawn backlash and violent protests. The outrage in this NY Post article is encouraging:

New York Attorney General Letitia James is set to host a “Drag Story Hour” for children in Manhattan this weekend — and the event is sparking outrage over the use of taxpayer money for the already controversial event.

James and a string of fellow elected Democratic city and state leaders plan to attend Sunday’s event in the West Village where “families with children” are invited to watch drag performers read books over a four-hour stretch.

The AG’s March 19 event is co-sponsored by Drag Story Hour NYC — a nonprofit that has been showered in taxpayers funds, which has enabled them to send drag performers into public schools and libraries to interact with children as young as 3.

“My office is proud to host a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon,” James wrote on Instagram as she promoted the event. “We’re inviting families to join us at the @lgbtcenternyc with @dragstoryhour, drag storytellers, community leaders, and elected officials.”

News of the event sparked immediate backlash on Twitter, with some claiming New Yorkers’ tax dollars were “hard at work grooming kids.”

Why?? Why???? What is the purpose of government funded drag queens for children? To teach tolerance? BS,” Matt Antar, the New York Young Republican Club’s finance chairman, tweeted.

“Drag is a profession, not a “type of person.” A profession where adult men do exaggerated female impersonations often scantily clad with sexual themes… This is not the way.”

Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair also chimed in, tweeting: “The “family-friendly” event will take place at the ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.’ Your tax dollars are hard at work grooming kids!”

Steve Cortes, a former spokesman for President Trump’s campaign, added: “This kind of explicit targeting of children is just evil.”

“Grownups want to dress in drag? More power to them. But what is this fascination with wanting people to bring their kids to your drag show?” TV personality Judge Alex Ferrer tweeted.

Protest NY SAG Awards Screening: END Discrimination in the Union NOW

The Plandemic is OVER.
But, no one seems to have told SAG/AFTRA.
SO, protesting membership demanded UNION Leadership
be held accountable for discrimination against membership!
NOW.

 5: 30 pm. Feb 26. Outside the SVA Theatre in NYC an eager audience was
queuing to FIRST be checked for vax cards and then agree to arbitrary masking, otherwise: NO ENTRY for the Awards Screening.

Soon the protestors gathered, SAG members and friends, with cries of Shame on Sag filling the air. Actors forced to pay dues to a union that denies them employment gathered peacefully. Even so, someone called out a ridiculous amount of police- who left soon after - since this was definitely a peaceful protest.

The hypocrites running SAG cover for an elite core of union members who avoid the clot-shot, yet still work! Membership for the average union member includes pay your dues, BUT they must COMPLY to vax or NOT work. (some are more equal than others)

SAG has failed as a union. At the expense of the actors who must PAY their DUES but can NOT work because of arbitrary, debunked rules.

 SAG/AFTRA continues to segregate membership. To gain entry for the screening,  everyone had to go the the back of a line, wait to show their vax cards and then proceed to the the SAG Rep up front who was handing out MASKS.

Show your vax card and mask up or go home

 But, the actual Awards show was in LA. In a packed ballroom of NO MASKING celebs. One can imagine as well that the clot shot secretly injected into a slew of oranges ... rather than the arms of these ELITE SAG members.  (a well kept secret?)

The protestors were loud. Passionate.  Our Bodies. Our Choice should NOT be used to segregate us. We pay our dues. LET US WORK !

Flickr - Part 1 - END this Plandemic Discrimination NOW. There was an unnecessary amount of police who came to check out the protest... and left  ... because this was a peaceful protest. (although Theatre Security complained about chalk on the sidewalk 'cause they would have to hose it down.)

Flickr- Part 2. The protestors demanded an end to forced masking,while the celeb-elites in L.A. gathered mask-free! Signs and chants filled the air as Do not Comply, End Segregation, End Discrimination challenged the eager lemmings entering the theatre under these arbitrary rules.

Part 1  Video [3:07] "Shame on You" followed by impassioned speakers who represent ACTORS who want to work! Another said re the mandated vax: "We should have a vote, not a mandate." And another speaker challenged the union with "You've sold your soul to the Devil."  Followed by more chants: "END discrimination in the union"

Part 2  Video [1:48] Police showed up but didn't stay long. The protestors were loud but peaceful. But, that didn't keep the  SVA Theatre Security from being upset by the chalk messages that stated clearly WHY they were protesting. All this while the audience was sent to the back of a line to get vax approved and  masked before they could enter.

Part 3 Video [1:40] Chants of segregation and a great sign: S.egregation A.buse G.enocide as well as more en point chalk messages. "Our Dues pay YOUR salary". The protestors were not shy. They spoke directly to the lemmings attending the Awards Screening. And some of the audience were equally direct (one older fellow angrily entered the theatre with a two-handed flip-off to the protestors)

Part 4 Video [00:47] Everyone who attended the screening had to go to the back of a line, to show their vax cards, and then proceed to the SAG/AFTRA Rep handing out the masks. Meanwhile, the celebs in L.A. were MASK FREE.

Part 5 Video [1:45]  Masks. So many masks. So many sheeple happily masking up to attend the awards screening. While the celebs in L.A. are mask-free.

 "Shame on You, SAG".

Next day, SAG/AFTRA President Fran Drescher made a statement following the demonstrations on both coasts. She called for an end to the mandates, so the actors can work. “When equal citizens stop being equal, when cards must be presented to identify whether you are included or excluded, we stand at the tipping point of an America I no longer recognize.”

            https://decider.com/2023/02/27/fran-drescher-calls-for-end-vaccine-mandates/

She urged Hollywood to end its vaccine mandates in her opening remarks at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony on Sunday (Feb. 26), calling for everyone to use their financial influence to “make governors act” on the issue.

“As the nation declares an end to the COVID emergency this May, I hope we will see everyone return to work in equal opportunity!”

The actress’s call for the end of vaccine mandates followed closely behind Woody Harrelson’s anti-vax monologue on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live. The actor, who was hosting the show for the fifth time, compared COVID vaccine manufacturers to drug cartels.

Drescher ended her remarks at the Screen Actors Guild Awards with a bold line from her character Bobbi Flekman in the 1984 movie, This is Spinal Tap: “Money talks and bullshit walks!”

That's twice she has spoken out. But, so far, it's just talk.

Guardians of Divinity Protest Drag Story Hour at Yorkville Lib NYC

 Feb 15, 2023. The Guardians of Divinity gathered peacefully protest another Drag Queen Story hour promoted as usually as SAFE for Children.

Today they were outside a NY Public Library on East 79th St

. 

 The upper east side of Manhattan aka Yorkville.\

 

 The NYPD predictably spends all their time dealing with the Antifa radicals  who claim to be are there as 'protection' for the children.

Protecting the children from those "scary"Guardians of Divinity by the very scary Antifa radicals.

The rest of the Drag supporters are the colorful Rise and Resist Leftists ...  who have no respect for the First Amendment (or the police) either...

They all have one purpose: to shut down any opposition, and to do this they go where they want and do what they want.

Today, outside the library there were an unusual amount of strollers.



 

Perhaps it's the UES nannys looking to keep the kids busy (no matter what the event).

Flickr Slide Show- The hardcore lefties consistently wear masks- not as a leftover from the "plandemic ". Their directives claim that UMBRELLAS and MASKS are needed to PROTECT their identities from the evil police. And the dangerous Right Wing Racists.

One. Big. Obnoxious. GAME.



Flickr Slide show - Of Both sides outside the Library

 

Videos Part 1- The door to the library didn't open til 11 am, so the children . The strollers, the nannies. The antifa/rise resisters. All hovered outside. It was the few moments of filming for me before they decided to surround me ( yawn). Once the doors opened, the "you don't belong here" game began

Part 2. The police were in a much better mood on the UES than the officers in Queens and the 20th street. It was encouraging the calm demeanor they maintained while controlling the Antifa thugs- they still surrounded me- blocking my camera as best they could,with their RAINBOW umbrellas, but today there were limits to how far they could push me. Thank you, Yorkville NYPD.

 
Part 3 - Activist Jamie Bauer insisted she could NOT understand WHY this group has an issue with the Story Hours. She was seeking a dialogue so she could understand .... but she couldn't get an answer. (poor dear)

  

Part 4 - The Guardians of Divinity, when they first gathered were in front of library  ... as were the Rise Resisters ...  but the police were not comfortable with this arrangement. All the barricades were late arriving. So, the antifa thugs were roaming and shoving and physically threatening the Guardians. Annoyed, understandably, the Guardians were placed in a barricaded area, away from the library entrance,

The resistance by concerned citizens like the Guardians of Divinity to grooming children through inappropriate books, classroom indoctrination and the proliferation of adult Drag Queen Story Hours performing to young children continues and is growing. Parents are no longer silent. The resistance will never be silent.

Stop Grooming the Kids. Let Kids be Kids. Stop Killing Their Innocence.They are definitely making an impression.

Even though NYC is run by progs and the soc/commie machine they are NOT comfortable .... they HATE that the opposition continues.

 Never Give In!

Protest Drag Queen Story Hour met with Leftist chaos outside Queens Library

Dec 29, 2022 3 pm. Jackson Heights, Queens, NY

On Dec 29, the Leftist "Defenders of Drag Queens" behaved badly, ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians of Divinity while assaulting their cameras with horns and very shrill voices . It was business as usual.

The Guardians of Divinity, protested another Drag Queen Story Hour in Jackson Heights, Queens, where they were challenged by an aggressive band of leftists and antifa. ( organized by  UARFnyc : United Against Racism and Fascism)

The Leftist scum crowded the street and sidewalks , emboldened by the fact that  Jackson Heights is known as a gay enclave, they did as they pleased.

"In the 1920s, LGBT actors working in the 42nd Street theater scene decided to make their homes in Jackson Heights due to the lack of affordability of Manhattan neighborhoods and the easy accessibility of the 7 train. That was the beginning of what is now the second largest gay community in New York City." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Heights,_Queens]

Th Leftists, "DEFENDERS of Drag Queens", created confrontations by ripping signs, pepper-spraying the non-violent Guardians and assaulting their photographers by blocking them, blasting them with horns while their shrieks and drums filled the air.

A view of the protesting Leftists...written by the Left at UNICORN RIOT. 

Their report is an over the top characterization of these "Defenders of Drag Queens." (Community 

Defenders  vs "Faces of Hate")

But, ignores the role the instigators play (like the instigator in green) who fed her bogus version of an exchange with a conservative reporter to the very willing lefty Unicorn Press. Her modus operandi is to create chaos,  claiming victim hood for the always eager reporters. (see video)

 
[https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/jackson-heights-nyc-drag-story-hour-draws-defenders-homophobes/]

 

Along with twitter reporter "Talia Jane", wiki has predictably published the "Faces of Hate" labels and fictitious stories as fact. Never reports that the DQSHs encourage  a new breed of children who look at sex and gender as FLUID. Also, this bloody street-theatre piece was brought to the children as they passed by. Anything is OKAY, even the occasionally naked Crackhead Barney, except protecting the children from this unnecessary indoctrination,.

Ignoring the rights of PARENTS. People. Families to object to Drag Queen indoctrination. Dismissing their opposition as HATEFUL.  Bagel Karen with her two young children passed by the obscene Crackhead Barney with her friend Daniel Christmann. She seemed to have no issue with this relentless sexualization of children.  (see video)

 

.As for the rest of the videos from Dec 29 - these cultural Marxists Queens are rude, crude and very gay.

Perhaps accounting for the clownish behavior of these 'defenders', who also did not hesitate to accost the peaceful protestors, forcing the NYPD to focus mostly on the chaotic  'defenders of drags'.

Videos: Part 1-[:06] relentless (obnoxious) screaming  (and drums) from the leftist crowd as police attempt to clear stragglers out of the street and back behind the barricades. Councilwoman Cruz is seen watching the action from the lefty pen. NYPD hasn't closed the street to traffic ( yet) so cars are being allowed to pass thru slowly, as a Drag Queen Story Hour protestors call out the lefties as 'disgusting pedophiles'. Children are watching from the upper level of the library as both sides yell at each other. [end 1:51]

Part 2 -[0:11] Drag Story Hour protestors are holding signs and chanting "Hey Hey Ho Ho , pedophiles have got to go" Another guy yells at the lefties, You are disgusting pedophiles, every one of you.". Are lefty marches thru the Guardians protest with a snarky sign, ""This is the ass-hole meet up" . The streets are packed with the lefties. Ignoring the police as always while more lefties (dressed as Satan) cross in to the Guardians space. Blasting horns. Blocking cameras. yelling in the faces. This goes on for quite awhile til the police finally send the lefties back across the street. A lefty pink unicorn character danced in front of the lefties - for their amusement. Til finally every one was cleared from the street so a city bus could pass  through. [3:05]

Part 3 - [0:08] The Guardians shouted towards the library, "Let Kids the Kids" while the lefties continued to leave their 'pens' to cross over . A Guardian held a sign that said, "Stop Confusing kids" . The Leftists made much about the Proud Boy flags that were seen on the Guardians protest area. They were there as protection, but never did anything more than stand around with their flags and signs. The noise level from the leftists continued to be very loud (surely making it difficult to concentrate for anyone inside the library) [1:08]

Part 4 - [0:04]  I passed by former New York educator,Joy Newball, talking to a man who seemed to be with the "protectors" about WHY the Drag Hours and the books they are reading should be of concern.The street was full of officers at this point, but that didn't stop the instigator woman-in-green from leading an assault on a Guardian photographer. ( and the NYPD now seemed to be no where in sight) "Where is the NYPD!" The lefties LOVE to make noise with colorful hand fans -while  shouting thru face masks, It difficult to understand them. Just NOISE. Assemblywoman Cruz seemed to be co-ordinating the police as a familiar lefty, who always wears a The Resistance Company mask,  marched in the street yelling, "Fuck you, Nazis"[1:43]

Part 5 - [0:06] No traffic . Street was now closed, jammed with police, protestors and photographers. With the lefties going where ever they pleased, someone ripped the "Stop Drag Queen Story Hour" and ran into the street. (the Guardian retrieved the pieces and taped it together) 

 

And AGAIN the instigator-in-green (1:06 in video) arrived to create more confrontations. (composite exposed some of the many confrontations she created)

Placing many police in the center of the street ... attempting to keep sides separated, I guess [1:40]

Part 6 - [0:04]The Neo-Nazi who marched in to the protest was a known  press-hungry interloper, escorted by the obnoxious fraud,  Jovi Val. They had no part in the Guardians protest, not invited, not wanted and were finally removed by the NYPD. But, of course, the press couldn't get enough of them. (it was difficult to get a good view due to the GLUT of photographers)  The Lefty reporters love to ignor ethe FACT that all acts of aggression came from the LEFT: the uncontrollable, pepper-spraying - fire-starting - LEFT. [1:24]

.The media loved Councilman Erik Bottcher's lies (the current press meme from Dec 19) slandering the  Guardians Of Divinity as Faces of Hate.  

The councilman (press shot from Dec 19th) and his sycophant press ignored the honest concerns of the Guardians : "Save the Children and Let Kids be Kids."

 

Instead, anyone protesting these Story Hours are labeled racists, bigots and homophobes aka Faces of Hate.

After 5 years of unopposed Story Hours around the country, these cultural Marxists, these social constructionists, are shocked by  any opposition to what they "claim to be innocent" story books. (The books read are rarely if ever revealed.) But, "Bella Noche" was happy to share that he read this book outside the library- on the street- to the children. (this day he was not in drag- see his web site post below of Bella's drag persona)

 

 

.FLICKR Part 2 of 2 shows the Guardians of Divinity and the Proud Boys (who joined them as security) peacefully holding signs while the NYPD tried to control the socialist/communist/fascisti 'defenders"as they made the streets unpassable and assaulted the Guardians of Divinity.

 .Flickr Part 1 of 2  Opposing their peaceful protest was the hateful soc/commie/ fascisti. They required constant attention as NYPD attempted to control them. The antifa scum claim to be about 'love' while displaying the opposite by ripping up signs, fouling the streets with fake blood - blocking cars and busses as children watch from inside the library.

 

Local politicians were there supporting the leftists You can spot more than one, But Catalina Cruz is the only one whom I recognized. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Cruz] Assembly District 39 - live in Jackson Heights]

.Next, what follows, is an excerpt from a long, informative article on the history and intentions of these Drag Story Hours. [https://www.city-journal.org/the-real-story-behind-drag-queen-story-hour]

"Harris Kornstein—stage name Lil Miss Hot Mess—who hosted 

some of the original readings in public libraries and wrote the children’s book The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish. Kornstein sits on the board of Drag Queen Story Hour, the nonprofit organization that was founded by Michelle Tea in 2015 to promote “family-friendly” drag performances and has since expanded to 40 local chapters that have organized hundreds of performances across the United States.

(Kornstein also published the manifesto for the movement, “Drag Pedagogy: The Playful Practice of Queer Imagination in Early Childhood,” with coauthor Harper Keenan, a female-to-male transgender queer theorist at the University of British Columbia.[ ... ] the authors propose a new teaching method, “drag pedagogy,” as a way of stimulating the “queer imagination,” teaching kids “how to live queerly,” and “bringing queer ways of knowing and being into the education of young children.” )

The books selected in many Drag Queen Story Hour performances—Cinderelliot, If You’re a Drag Queen and You Know It, The Gender Wheel, Bye Bye, Binary, and They, She, He, Easy as ABC—promote this basic narrative. Though Drag Queen Story Hour events are often billed as “family-friendly,”  ....  DQSH is ‘family friendly’ in the sense of ‘family’ as an old-school queer code to identify and connect with other queers on the street.”  .... the goal is not to reinforce the biological family but to facilitate the child’s transition into the ideological family.( ....)  .... the queer pedagogist Hannah Dyer has written, queer pedagogy and, by extension, drag pedagogy seek to expose the very concept of “childhood innocence” as an oppressive hetero-patriarchal illusion.

The purpose is to subvert the system of hetero-normativity, which includes childhood innocence, and re-engineer childhood sexuality from the ground up. "

To Recap: The Guardians of Divinity protested another Drag Queen Story Hour  in Jackson Heights (Queens) where they were accosted by an aggressive band of leftists, marxists, progs and antifa (Leeroy Press was there as they pepper sprayed two Guardians of Divinity as they were leaving) 

The leftists agitators ripped signs, pepper-sprayed non-violent Guardians and stood amongst them blocking their cameras while using horns and very shrill voices to add to the chaos.

.The NYPD would occasionally corral the leftists and then lose control of them, again. The many difficulties the police dealt with were caused by the "Defenders of Drag Queens ". Eventually the police had to close the street to traffic (and the city busses).

A simple construct of  Good vs Evil.

The soc/commie/progs - the politicians - the cultural marxists - are unwilling to admit that libraries and schools are inappropriate Drag Queen venues (mostly paid for with public funds). They call the shots. So will these protests ever make a difference? Can this relentless grooming of children be stopped? Is it too late?

Council members look to increase funding for Drag Story Hour, refuse to cower to far-right protesters [https://www.amny.com/politics/council-members-look-to-increase-funding-for-drag-story-hour-refuse-to-cower-to-far-right-protesters/#.Y-FpXlvy7Rg.twitter]

 The answer is simple,
If you want to Save the Children
Never Give Up. Never Give In.
