A man who was arrested following protests outside the Tate Britain over a drag queen story-telling event for children is due to appear in court.
Lance O’Connor, 53, of Plaistow, east London, is accused of assault on an emergency worker, obstruction of a police officer and two homophobic aggravated public order offences.
The Tate, in Millbank, central London, had been hosting Drag Queen Story Hour UK, with tales told by Aida H Dee, who the gallery’s website describes as “the first drag artist in Europe to read stories to children in a nursery”.
People protesting against the event were at the scene, as well as counter-protesters.
O’Connor is being held in custody and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
