A huge THANK YOU to all of our Kentucky Parasol Patrollers today who came out to stand in the gap and shield kids from hate. You pulled together as a community, withstood a bomb threat, and still continued to escort families past the handful of protesters who did show up.

DRAG STORY HOUR — Hundreds gathered outside of
@CrazyAuntHelens
in DC today to show support one week after Proud Boys showed up to similar event in Montgomery County.
Huge crowds of supporters. A massive police presence. Zero Proud Boy members showed up.

I need every one of you who sees this to send your Light, Love, Energy, Protection Spells and prayers to Louisville Kentucky tomorrow for the
#DragQueenStorytimeKentucky
event. Wrap them in your embrace that everyone has a wonderful time and most importantly gets home safe.
We need all the help we can get in Wadsworth Ohio on March 11th. We will safely escort families from the parking lot, past protesters where our reading and performance will take place. There is safety in numbers and our mission, as always, is to shield kids from hate.
If you find yourself in a Wal-Mart and they have rainbow Misty Harbor umbrellas please let us know where...(nationally) so we can order them. If you want to donate Misty Harbor or any umbrellas to the Parasol Patrol send us a DM for our address.

We live in a beautiful country called America, where we are free to be whomever we want. The Radical Rainbow Mafia has hijacked LGBT ppl and is the worst thing that has ever happened to LGBT ppl! They are DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!
Will I show up? yes.
Will I probably need to do a little work? also yes.
big thank you to
@ParasolPatrol
for welcoming me when I showed up extra early to set up my office. 💙🏳️🌈✨
Young Dirty Bastard, son of Wu-Tang Clan founding member Ol' Dirty Bastard was visiting our Club Q Family dinner and came outside to say hi, take pictures and take home a heart shaped Rainbow Umbrella.
That's right... Wu-Tang Clan representing the Parasol Patrol.

Denver Beer Queers could really use your support tomorrow night at
#SunroomBrewing
in Englewood Colorado. They have received hate mail over this event and rightly so have decided to move forward and keep supporting the Queer community.

Thank you Kyle for speaking the truth. Castle Rock PrideFest's attendees were terrorized for 45 minutes while DCSO stood by and did nothing. A mother in a wheelchair could not get out of the stage seating because protesters were blocking the aisles. And still nothing was done.
The Parasol Patrol will be hosting a training session and what to expect from Westboro on Tuesday March 5th at the Hedge in Tulsa Oklahoma at 6:30pm. We hope to see you there.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has donated so far and to those of you who have shared this as well. We have Las Vegas, St. George Utah and 1 one more trip in the planning stages, and we can only do what we do thanks to you all.
"You think you're the only one with a f*king gun around here?" asked an anti-drag activist as he & others followed the drag supporter who deployed mace earlier as they were escorted by police.
"I would love to f*k you up," 1 anti-drag protester said.

Some online are pointing out this moment from the fight earlier.
I cannot confirm definitively what this object pointed at the crowd was, but feel free to see for yourself (cropped, slow motion).
As you'll see in next tweet, he was later arrested.
Thank you Boulder Public Library for continuing to host Drag Story Hours even in the face of continued hate mail and now a coordinated attack by Gays Against Groomers. The
#ParasolPatrol
will always be present to welcome guests and shield our youth from hateful protesters.
QUESTION FOR YOU ALL
I need to try and make contact with any Legal Observers in Ohio that can make it to Wadsworth Ohio this Sat. Anyone have any contacts?
This was yesterday at our Drag Queen Story Time with Miss Shirley at the Broomfield Public Library. Patriot Front back in Colorado and a half dozen other homophobic protesters
While we recognize the irony of the mass shooting in Nashville while everyone is trying to, "protect," children from Drag, let's honor the lives lost & affected today. If you need help, contact

Thank you so much for the shout out. We are packing as we speak to travel to Owasso. We will be hosting a Parasol Patrol training session and what to expect from Westboro Tuesday March 5th in Tulda Oklahoma at The Hedge.
We need your help this Saturday at the Boulder Public Library. We have confirmed that there WILL BE protesters at this event and we need as many Patrollers as possible to stand in between our youth and protesters who will be trying to film and harass them.

's mission is to shield kids from hateful protesters at LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC youth events such as Drag Queen Story Hours, All-Ages Drag Shows and any other events where youth are targeted or threatened to be targeted by protesters.
Trade nightclub turned away the leader of Gays Against Groomers bcz patrons felt unsafe with him there. Of course he immediately threatened to have Trade shut down. Let's show our support for businesses who won't do business with Hate Groups.
Westboro has released one of their most vile press releases ever concerning their targeting of Nex Benedict's memory in Owasso Oklahoma.
Please be warned the contents are absolutely horrible.
We are only able to do what we do because of the generosity of each and every one of you out there who supports us. Each and every donation helps to spread the mission of the Parasol Patrol and shield kids from hate.
Y'all...put this on your Calendar now and get tickets before they sell out. Thank you Heather Gregg Spillman and Jason Spillman for putting in all the behind the scenes work and making this happen. I couldn't LOVE you and your family more. We would LOVE to see you there!
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION FOR COLORADO SPRINGS COLORADO TOMORROW SUNDAY JANUARY 21ST AT 10AM.

I was quoted in this article as identifying the weapon pulled from a homophobic protesters front right pocket as a .22 handgun. Wadsworth Police have since identified the weapon drawn as a Kimber PepperBlaster.

We know we will have protesters at this event and need all the community support we can get to completely block them out.
We are honored to be hosting a panel with the one and only Flamy Grant this Saturday in Colorado Springs on exploring how to create safe spaces in religious centers.
We need all hands on deck in Colorado Springs this Sunday. The Westboro Baptist church has announced their intent to target 3 churches in the Colorado Springs area. We will assemble at the staging area and be prepared should they Target Pikes Pride 2023.

We were lucky to have an amazing group of Patrollers show up today for their first ever Parasol Patrol Kentucky event and they did an absolutely amazing job welcoming families and escorting them safely to and from their vehicles.
The Parasol Patrol has been invited to the Final Dress Rehearsal of "Rubicon" at the Kilstrom Theater on Thursday February 8th at 7pm.
I was contacted by the Audience Development Manager of the DCPA and thanked for the work we do and they wanted to thank us.

While we respectfully disagree with your assumptions we will be gathering to block the hateful signs and angry faces of the Westboro Baptist Church. Whenever Westboro targets schools we will always be there to stand in the gap and shield our youth from their hate.
The Parasol Patrol will be standing against the "Stop The War On Children Rally" on Saturday October 21st on Lincoln St on the West Side of the Denver Capitol at 9:30am.
