Proud Boy loves kids but may harm them.
The office said in a statement that five men whom witnesses described as members of the Proud Boys disrupted an edition of "Drag Queen Story Hour," an LGBTQ+ education franchise for children and families that started in San Francisco in 2015.

The office added that the men wore clothing and logos that were consistent with the Proud Boys, a white nationalist [hate] group linked to the [Donald Trump] January 6th violent siege at the U.S. Capitol.

The men, it said, shouted "homophobic and transphobic slurs at the event organizer," according to the statement from sheriff's Lieutenant Ray Kelly.

"The men were described as extremely aggressive with a threatening violent demeanor causing people to fear for their safety," he said. [They were so violent and aggressive that] No arrests were made at the scene, Kelly said. More
