Deputies were summoned to the San Lorenzo Library on Saturday afternoon after five men allegedly broke into preschool reading during Pride Month, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said. “The men have been described as members of the Proud Boys, which is known to be a right-wing hate group with links to LGBTQs,” the sheriff’s office said. “Men have been described as extremely aggressive with a threatening violent behavior that causes people to fear for their safety.” Local drag queen Panda Dulce, who hosted the event, claimed that the men shouted “tranny” and “pedophile” as they interrupted the event.
