Tradition, Family, Property (TFP)—Texas joined the March 31 protest in Houston, Texas
When members of Tradition, Family, Property (TFP)—Texas heard about a Drag Queen Story Hour open to all ages, they joined the March 31 protest in Houston, Texas.
A Drag Queen Story Hour Is Not Innocent
By now, everyone knows that these events are not simply innocent story times for children. The books that are read are full of pro-LGBT material and many passages are indescribably revolting and obscene. One drag queen at a Louisiana public hearing described the events as “the grooming of the next generation.”
Thus, a growing movement of parents around the country oppose both the story hours and the books that harm childhood innocence often promoted at public libraries and schools.
The TFP-Texas volunteers were returning from a campaign against a Satanic Black Mass in Kansas and went straight to join the protest with local Texans on the streets of Houston.
An Outrageous Attempt of Confrontation
A confrontation did not take long in coming. The peaceful rosary rally to protect children’s innocence was already under way when TFP volunteers pulled up. Prancing in front of the prayer warriors, was a man dressed in what resembled a girl’s cheerleading outfit.

He tried to disrupt the prayers, as the TFP members poured out of the vehicles to join the twenty Houstonians at the rally. The man had come earlier to tear up signs and heckle, but ran away, only to return in his girl’s outfit.
Adrian, the Rosary Captain, positioned the rally at a well-chosen corner about a block away from the Montrose Center where the Drag Queen event was taking place. There was plenty of evening traffic where people could see the “Honk” signs for children’s innocence. Despite the man’s outrageous antics, most cars honked in favor of the rally.
“All of a Sudden I Heard a Commotion”
“All of a sudden I heard a commotion,” one member holding the TFP grand standard said. “I turned around to see two men and a badly dressed woman attacking the prayer rally.” The two men were yelling and cursing, while the woman snatched a sign out of a lady’s hands and ripped it up.
She then confronted those who positioned themselves between the ladies and the aggressors. Adrian was one of the men who went to shield the ladies with his sign. The rampaging woman managed to destroy his sign as she could not contain her hatred.

They Nagged, Cursed and Threatened
They harassed, cursed and threatened the crowd, but the rosary only rang out stronger than before. The calm, manly response seemed to put them off balance, so they temporarily retreated to figure out new tactics.

One of the aggressors looked up the TFP’s Houston center on his phone, displaying his “unique discovery” as a veiled threat. Another poured a foul-smelling liquid on the nearby sidewalk which stank horribly. Lastly, they tried mockery to dishearten the peaceful protesters by screaming, “Oh, did Antifa wreck your party?”
They Could not Stop the Rally
No matter how hard the self-proclaimed Antifa members tried, they could not stop the prayers or break the spiritual unity of the rally.
This was a powerful, peaceful and prayerful protest, not a party, and they definitely did not wreck it. If anything, they unified the group even more, since it was obvious that the protest had unnerved the Antifa members.
Aggressors Run When Faced by Police
The main incident lasted about ten minutes. Suddenly, the police came in force. Four squad cars pulled up, blocking the road and many more policemen came by foot, having parked on side streets around the block. Some twenty police officers came on the scene. The cowardly aggressors quickly entered a nearby house, apparently belonging to the man dressed as a cheerleader.
Although a complaint was filed against the aggressors for the ripped signs, the officers could not enter the house without a warrant.
The nearly two-hour long rally ended with resounding shouts of, “Viva Cristo Rey” and “Viva Maria Santissima.” It truly was a blessed day for those who had the courage to defend childhood innocence.
