Drag events in Ohio met with mixed reactions from protesters and supporters.

A small group of protestors, including members of a white-supremacist group called the Patriot Front, gathered for a drag brunch at Element 41 restaurant in Chardon Square, Ohio, but there were no violent confrontations. The event followed a week of tension and rumors of violence from hate groups. Law enforcement was on high alert, but the brunches went ahead as planned. Supporters of LGBTQ+ rights stood behind barriers carrying signs that read “Drag’s Not A Crime,” “Fascists Go Home,” and “Pro-Peace, Pro-LGBT.”
