Protesters met with counter protesters at drag story time event in Ottawa

Multiple people were detained outside of the National Arts Centre in Ottawa as Protesters were met with counter protesters at a Drag Story Time event for children and families. 

According to the National Arts Centre website:

Local drag celebrities China Doll and Cyril Cinder and Musicians from Monkey Rock Music are here to entertain children and families of all ages.

Many of the protesters believe that it is inappropriate for children to be attending the event. On the other hand, counter protesters showed up to defend the event. 

One of the individuals' detained at the event was 16-year-old Josh Alexander. 

Earlier this week, Josh was arrested at his high school by police after he attempted to attend school while being suspended for expressing his view of there being only two genders. 

I made the journey from Toronto to Ottawa to cover this event. It’s important that Rebel News is on scene during events like this, and we can’t do it without your support. If you appreciate reports like this, consider donating to help fund our coverage at RebelFieldReports.com.
