3. Here is some more about it

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/letitia-james-drag-story-hour-man-arrested-protesters-clash-new-york-1234699966/

On Sunday, a DSH event took place at The Center, an LGBTQ+ community center on West 13th Street, where video footage shows a man in a gold mask being arrested outside after protesters purportedly clashed over drag performers reading stories to kids, and tax dollars helping fund the event. The man who was arrested was described by police via New York Post as an “anti-drag protester (who was) arrested for assaulting a pro-drag agitator.”

An officer from NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information’s office tells Rolling Stone the man who was arrested is 53-year-old Robert Porco. Porco has been charged with one count of assault. The officer could not confirm whether the suspect was for or against the event. The officer said no other arrests were made in connection to the event.

Video appearing to be filmed from outside the event depicts at least one person wearing a far-right Proud Boys sweatshirt who was in attendance and was told to “get the fuck out of here” by opposing protesters. The man was joined by another, who appeared to have blood on his face as he walked away from the crowd who supported the event.

While video footage outside of the event depicted the clash between opposing protesters, a photo shared by James on Twitter from inside The Center showcased families with children intently engaged in the storytelling taking place...

Here is video of a couple of PBs being r-u-n-n-o-f-t and told "Fuck the proud boys!" and "Go back to Long Island!"

The outlet that filmed the altercation is called FreedomNews. Here is a link to their article: https://freedomnews.tv/2023/03/19/proud-boys-beat-up-at-protest-of-attorney-generals-drag-story-hour-in-manhattan/

5. 5-6 years ago these events occurred peacefully with no controversy

Some right-wing think tank decided this was the beachhead they would use to wage an all out assault on the LGBTQ community.
