A library storytime for children featuring a drag queen in San Fernando, a suburb of Los Angeles, was canceled Oct. 25 after dozens of protestors blocked entrances and shouted at participants.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who organized the event—featuring the drag queen known as Pickle—said protestors pounded on doors of the San Fernando Library, shouted obscenities and slurs at her staff and library workers, and used strollers to block vehicles.
