Protesters on both sides of a controversial Drag Queen Storytime event clashed outside a Chula Vista, Calif., library on Aug. 29, as local police showed up to keep the peace.

Tempers flared when about six LGBTQ+ activists disrupted a scheduled MassResistance press conference at the Otay Ranch branch of the Chula Vista Public Library. The counter-protesters brandished signs and shouted down about 25 supporters of the MassResistance, calling them bigots and white supremacists for their tough stance against the library program.
