Conservatives furious as armed men defend drag performers at brunch protest

Protesters who answered anti-trans activist’s call were stunned by display of support for drag event

A group of armed conservatives appeared shaken by pro-LGBT+ protesters guarding a “drag brunch” event in Roanoke, Texas, at the weekend, video has shown.

The two groups stood off against one another on Sunday outside Anderson Distillery and Grill, when an inaugural “Barrel Babes Brunch” event was held with local drag queens.


At least one conservative group had planned to protest against the brunch ahead of Sunday, including Protect Texas Kids, who, according to its website, aims to “take a stand in protecting kids from the toxic, indoctrinating agenda of the left” — supposedly in reference to support for LGBT+ people.


The event, which the restaurant said was fully booked and attended by families, went ahead with a sustained police presence despite those earlier threats made by alleged members of the far right on social media.

​

In fact, conservative protesters appeared taken aback by the presence of armed supporters outside the venue who were masked, dressed mostly all in black, and were holding AR-15 style weapons in defence of the venue and drag performers. Video and images also showed them displaying Pride and trans flags.

Footage captured by Steven Monacelli, a Dallas-area journalist, captured the verbal confrontation that unfolded involving police, who ordered the conservative protesters to the other side of the street. About half-a-dozen people were pictured holding placards with slogans such as “Drag the queens out of them”.

Exactly why I don't loose any sleep over these devils. The slightest notion of any even playing field and they get to shytting themselves. All we need is a heavily armed guard or two outside of places where our people congregate and things will be as right as rain.

What does a drag show have to do with "evening the playing field" ??? Those white liberals are protecting their interests lol. Do you think they would show up armed at a reparations hearing for black Americans?

even the LGBTQ community is exercising their 2nd amendment rights to defend themselves and their communities while you still have black people that are begging the government for gun control.

people are realizing that the state is not going to protect you from people that want to commit acts of violence against you.

Usually when I hear nikkas on this site make this statement they're usually unarmed, unprepared, and untrained. I at least hope you own a handgun

You're being emotional. I need you to think like a man and not a fukking woman. If there were armed black people at any function where there were black people present, they would react the exact same way. That's what I meant by even playing field, stupid. Know your history and stop embarrassing your damn self.

You can't ignore the fact most black people, are dying by gunfire and act as if their grievances aren't legitimate or worthy of concern. Most black people will go their whole lives without dealing with crackas trying to pull some shyt, but they will unfortunately have to deal with the fact they may get gunned down by someone who looks like them. Key word being, may.

And that gunfire is the result of a much bigger problem than just guns. You could pass the strictest gun control tomorrow, and black people will still get gunned on their own, and the police who will still have guns.

Nobody is going to take guns away from anyone period, so focusing on a considerable number of black folk who don't like them and wish for them to be regulated is pissing in the wind.
