California parents protected their children from LGBTQ indoctrination by protesting a Drag Queen Story Hour.
The San Fernando Library planned to hold a story hour event with “Pickle the Drag Queen,” but parents protested the event.
The protest led to the event being canceled.
Parents declared, “Leave our kids alone!”
Others told Pickle, “Bye-bye” and “No pervert pedophiles are going to train our kids to be perverts like you.”

The organizer of the event, Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath, said, “What was meant to be a celebration of love and inclusion turned into the opposite.”
“Today, my office was set to host a Drag Storytime at the San Fernando Library as part of LGBTQ+ History Month. What was meant to be a celebration of love and inclusion turned into the opposite,” Horvath tweeted.
“Protestors claimed they want to keep children safe while they pounded on doors, shouted obscenities & slurs toward my staff and library staff, and used strollers to blockade moving vehicles. The hypocrisy is astounding,” she added. “These disgusting tactics and efforts to incite violence prevented Pickle and Library patrons from even entering the building. I hope no one does to their families what they did to their neighbors today.”
“Libraries will not be breeding grounds for indoctrination of hate and contempt toward our fellow neighbor,” the statement noted.
