Aida H Dee’s Tate Britain events attracted rival protests from a far-right group and counter-protests led by Stand Up To Racism
A drag queen whose storytelling sessions for children sparked rival demonstrations over the weekend, has defended the event as a way of helping youngsters discover their true selves.
Sab Samuel, whose drag name is Aida H Dee, hosted three Drag Queen Story Hour UK readings in Tate Britain in London on Saturday, while about 30 protesters from the far-right group Patriotic Alternative gathered outside chanting “leave our kids alone”.
