On June 27, a local branch of the Proud Boys showed up at what was supposed to be a Drag Queen Story Hour at the Virginia M. Tutt branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library. WVPE, the local NPR affiliate, gave a tendentious account of the incident which incorporated all of the usual epithets about “the growth of hateful right-wing rhetoric against LGBTQ people” at the hands of the Proud Boys “and other far-right groups” which “have turned up at Pride parades and events like drag queen story hours.”
