Proud Boys whip up vitriol against a drag brunch in a small North Carolina town

Raw Story  

SANFORD, N.C. — More than a dozen Proud Boys in tactical gear and gang colors harassed patrons attending a drag show in this small town straddling the Piedmont and the state's eastern plain on Sunday by calling them “groomers” and “pedophiles” as they filed into a local brewpub for the brunch event. I would be disbarred if that were the case.” Parrish Holmes with the Cape Fear Proud Boys chapter told reporters outside the venue that the protesters’ only objection was children being exposed to drag performances. “Many experts believe that biological factors such as genetic influences and prenatal hormone levels, early experiences, and experiences later in adolescence or adulthood may all contribute to the development of transgender identities.” Holmes, who described himself to reporters as a “constitutionalist,” claimed that exposing children to drag is a form of “abuse.” “Children that are being targeted, children that are being trans-ed, saying that this kind of lifestyle is okay, that is this kind of lifestyle for someone under twenty-one that you should be able to live like this, you should be able to put on woman face as a boy and be a caricature as a woman and pretend like women who have lived their whole lives as women, that you can just adopt that by putting makeup on your face, a wig on your head,” he said. “We’re the full spectrum of Americana.” Another Proud Boy, wearing a tactical vest with a patches displaying a skull and bones, Christian cross and American flag across his black tactical vest, later warned one of the officers: “People get hurt.” “It’s a big concern,” the officer replied.
