Proud Boys tried to disrupt a Pride month family story time event in McKinney, Texas. Local activists report a wall of parents kept them out of the event.

Michael Phillips, a historian of race and class politics based in the area, said this about the event: "We stood between the fascists and the families they were trying to harass. They packed heat because, I guess, library story time is such a physically dangerous situation."

Eye witnesses report that this group of Proud Boys is the same group that showed up outside of another pride event in Arlington, Texas just the other week.

Yesterday was one of the most eye opening and terrifying experiences I’ve ever had. These were the most disgusting, hate filled people I’ve ever met in my life. They were calling us groomers, pedos, whores and fat shamed women..in front of children and families at a library. twitter.com/stevanzetti/st…

My 3 small CHILDREN and I had to be escorted to our car for our safety leaving the LIBRARY because #WhiteSupremacy groups showed up. Grateful to #LGBTQ community members and allies who out numbered them 5 to 1 so that at least my younger two kids couldn’t see anything but love twitter.com/stevanzetti/st…
