Protesters clashed in the West Village on Sunday afternoon over a first-of-its-kind Drag Story Hour Read-A-Thon hosted by Attorney General Letitia James, resulting in one opponent being cuffed.

While many support the readings, some opponents have politicized the topic, pushing false claims that the events sexualize children.
