Ille-et-Vilaine: a small group of extreme right disrupts a reading workshop by drag queens

Highlights: Twenty activists demonstrated in front of the media library which welcomed a dozen young children for an animated reading workshop. At that time, a dozen children aged 3 to 6 attended the costumed animations of "Alex-snail, the robot Moon and the Melba doll". They flee when the gendarmes arrive. "To our children inculcate our roots do not impose drag queens," read the banner unfurled by L'Oriflamme. "Shame on the town hall that endangers our children and encourages decadence," they wrote.


About twenty activists demonstrated in front of the media library which welcomed a dozen young children for an animated reading workshop.


These are workshops for children that now animate far-right networks. After Paris, Toulouse, it is the turn of Saint-Senoux, a small village near Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine), to have seen its representation of three drag queen artists (characters who dress and make up excessively to look like the opposite sex) disturbed.

This Saturday, while the media library welcomed these three artists for a reading workshop (and creation of storytelling characters) as part of its program "gender equality: let's talk about it!" around diversity and self-acceptance, members of a far-right group came to disrupt the performance.

Smoke in hand, banner, hoods or sunglasses, 25 members of the Rennes group L'Oriflamme gathered in front of the media library, report our colleagues from Ouest-France. At that time, a dozen children aged 3 to 6 attended the costumed animations of "Alex-snail, the robot Moon and the Melba doll".

They flee when the gendarmes arrive.

They tried to distribute leaflets to the parents of the children, disillusioned and who refused, notes Le Télégramme. "To our children inculcate our roots do not impose drag queens," read the banner unfurled by L'Oriflamme, which claimed its action on Twitter. "Our activists denounced this blunder defended by the local power and promoted by the system," they wrote to accompany a statement with photos and videos of their action.

"This is a moment of propaganda orchestrated by the LGBT lobby in order to shape the consciences of the younger generations (...) Drag queens are activists who, under the guise of "artistic performances" promote their way of life based on their depraved sexuality. Shame on the town hall that endangers our children and encourages decadence," they write.

They finally quickly left the scene when the Redon gendarmes arrived. The latter have opened an investigation.
