Tiny protest against Drag Queen event brings hundreds to support in Royal Oak
The nation’s culture war visited downtown Royal Oak with a peaceable skirmish Saturday afternoon when anti-gay protesters were outnumbered by pro-gay protesters by seemingly 100 to one.
A crowd that police estimated reached 1,000 jammed sidewalks while, buried within it, only about a dozen people brandished bibles and held signs that proclaimed their opposition to LGBTQ lifestyles. The protesters said they especially objected to an activity going on inside the downtown's 10-month-old Sidetrack Bookshop.
From 2-3 p.m., the store’s lesbian co-owners were hosting metro Detroit’s latest site of the quirky and sometimes controversial event known as Drag Queen Story Time. The vast majority of those who gathered voiced support for both the store’s event and for LGBTQ values. They held signs that said “Good Parents Teach Love, Not Hate” and “Hate is a Drag." At times, the throngs chanted “Bigots go home!”
That led 8-year-old Amelia Branch, of Berkley, to ask her mother, as they stood at a curbside, “What are bigots?” Her mother, Lori Branch, replied, “Bigots are small-minded people who allow their fear of anything different to dominate their thoughts and actions.”
