Stacks of Amazon boxes containing new copies of the books the #antiLGBTQ #protesters checked out started to arrive at the #library after the #SanDiegoUnionTribune #reported on the protest. Roughly 180 people, mostly San Diegans, gave more than $15,000 to the library system, which after a city match will provide over $30,000 toward more #LGBTQ-themed #materials and #programming, including an #expansion of the system’s already popular #dragqueenstoryhours

Proud Boy: “We’re special. Thank you. Appreciate it. From your taxes.”

“Oh, I have to pay for the fare, but they don’t?” the videographer says to the cop. “Is that the situation you’re saying?”

Yeah the #DragQueenStoryHours drive through right nuts but are harmless & no one forces anyone to attend.

While I am not pals with any #DragQueens (who have always been with us but recently have more visibility) there is no reason to encourage violence from unstable people by repeatedly attacking them. Their lives are difficult enough & there is no evidence they have been involved in child molestation or turned a child who attended a story gay.
