The children's story-telling tour ends in Cardiff with police outside the city's main library.
A children's story hour run by a drag queen in Cardiff was targeted by protesters claiming it was "sexualising their children".
Police formed a line between protesters and counter-protesters outside but the event passed off peacefully. Sab, whose drag character is Aida H Dee, says the intention was to provide a positive experience about queer culture and providing a positive role model for people to look up.'Hateful people' "It makes me feel depressed that these hateful people exist in dark corners of every country. These people do exist and they inspire me to keep going and to write more stories. This is the exact reason I do what I do."
"The plan is for there to be a summer tour every year. The tour will concentrate on different parts of the country and we do plan to do a Wales-only tour at some point in the future."Luana Beynon and Charmaine Smikle attended the event at Cardiff Central Library with their childrenIt was her first experience of a drag queen story event and she said it was hugely enjoyable.
"I was surprised there were protesters but glad to see majority of people gathered were pro the event," she said.
