Demonstrators have clashed outside Tate Britain during a protest against a drag queen story event organised by the London art gallery. Tate Britain was hosting a story time by children’s author and drag queen Aida H Dee at the Millbank attraction.
It is understood the protest is being led by the far-right organisation Patriotic Alternative. Protesters held signs reading, “No drag for kids!” and “Leave our kids alone!”
A separate group of demonstrators led by Stand Up To Racism was also outside the gallery in support of the story-telling, its supporters held signs reading: “Don’t let the far right divide us” and “Trans rights now”.
