Police are investigating an incident that occurred during a Drag Queen Story Hour at the San Lorenzo Library on Saturday afternoon after Panda Dulce, the San Francisco drag performer hosting the reading, said they were targeted by “a group of 8-10 Proud Boys” who stormed the room and shouted homophobic and transphobic threats at them, forcing them to leave the event with a security guard and hide in a back office.

The Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said that police responded to a report of a disturbance at the library at around 1:30 p.m. and discovered five men "described as members of the Proud Boys organization." The men were "described as extremely aggressive with a threatening violent demeanor causing people to fear for their safety," the sheriff's office said. It is not clear whether they are members of the national Proud Boys organization or were simply representing themselves as such.

The sheriff's office said an "active hate crime investigation is underway, as is an investigation into the annoying and harassing of children."

In an Instagram post that was first reported by KQED, Dulce said the men also attempted to record them on their phones.

19. Yeah I had to deal with an anti-trans bigot at a wedding that I was at this weekend.

And it was quite the clusterfuck. So the wedding was for my brother's wife's sister. And they had this friend of theirs who recently came out as a trans woman, who was there at the wedding and the after party. Well needless to say this one guy who was a guest of the groom would not leave her alone for the rest of the night and eventually got into a shouting match. We were all defending her and telling this guy what a POS he was and that he probably got his talking points from Fox News and that shit. Thankfully my other brother was there and he's not afraid to call people out on their bullshit and definitely let this guy have it. But after the way the rest of the night went (this continued for quite some time), we don't think he'll be friends with the groom anymore. Every wedding always has that one guy.
