Kids have a human right to experiment with their sexuality, and adults have a right to help small children explore sex.
Thankfully, the government is cracking down on Nazis who do not respect this right.
One person was arrested after dozens of protesters swarmed a drag queen storytelling event in London Saturday.
Two groups faced off outside the Tate Britain art gallery as drag queen Aida H Dee led a story time for children inside.
The far-right group Patriotic Alternative organized the anti-drag protest and waved flags that read, “No drag for kids!” and “Leave our kids alone!”
They were met by pro-drag demonstrators led by Stand Up To Racism, who barricaded the London gallery to support the event.
“What are you so afraid of? It’s just wigs and makeup,” the latter group chanted, video of the rally shows.
Dozens of police officers separated the warring groups.
One individual was arrested on suspicion of making a racially aggravated comment toward a police officer outside the gallery, BBC reported.

Five people made their way inside and “caused a disruption” in parts of the building, but did not disrupt the book reading session, said Aida H Dee, who Tate described as an “ADHD, neurodivergent, queer hero of literature, theatre, and children’s entertainment.”
The drag queen and children’s author ran three successful storytelling sessions despite the protests broiling outside.
“We fight to tell the stories that our government would try to ban if they had the chance,” Drag Queen Story Hour UK tweeted.
Anyone who denies a child their right to sexuality, or denies an adult homosexual their right to help children explore sexuality, is a Nazi.

All my heroes killed Nazis.
We have to stop Nazism and their attack on our children’s right to get fondled and give hardcore gay blowjobs to adult homosexual men.
