Pro-trans activist drives onto sidewalk, honks horn at senior citizen for 30 minutes outside drag queen story time

An activist drove onto a sidewalk while honking incessantly in an attempt to silence a single senior citizen who was protesting a drag queen story time at a public library.

Larry Heather, who was protesting outside the Nose Hill Library in Calgary, Canada, was at times a lone protester opposite the library with a sign against "male nudity in female change room[s]."

The driver, allegedly a drag queen himself, parked on the wrong side of the road, against traffic, for approximately half an hour honking his horn at Heather. The driver was seen driving up onto the sidewalk at different times, as well.

"He's one of the performers, obviously not working today but defending his compadres and a very unhappy man," Heather told Media Bezirgan.

"He would disturb the peace of this district with endless horn honking, which they actually gave tickets for to the freedom convoy people," the man explained.

The senior also told media that the driver pointed at him as if he were threatening to run him over.

"It's indicative of the great guilt in his soul," Heather continued. "Such is the spirit of these performers, these radicals ... and they wouldn't be acting this way unless their so-called business wasn't being crimped very severely."

No police presence was initially reported; however, when an officer appeared in the area, the driver reportedly sped off through a school zone away from the scene.

Despite no reported enforcement against this driver, Calgary Police set a disturbing precedent in 2022 when they ticketed drivers in the city for honking in support of anti-lockdown protesters.

In one instance in March 2022, police issued 14 summonses for excessive use of a horn after two anti-mandate rallies were held on a Saturday. At the same time, bylaw enforcers issued 23 tickets for excessive horn-honking.

A dozen activists protested in support of the library's drag queen story hour event, displaying signs that read "protect trans youth" and "my existence is not political" written on transgender flags.

A group called Queer Citizens United called for the protest and asked citizens to "stand up to hate."

Evidently, the group called responses to the event "homophobic & transphobic" protests by "hate groups."

"Do not engage with their bigotry, wear clothing to obscure your features. Do not engage with cops," the notice read. It also advised activists to "play copyrighted music" and remain "calm, aware," and "firm."
