Beth Bourne, chair of the California chapter of Moms for Liberty, has gone viral across social media on Monday for a video confronting drag queens in the lobby of a Hawaiian hotel on Sunday.
Moms For Liberty, a “parental rights” nonprofit has gained national prominence since its founding in 2021, initially to oppose COVID-19 regulations in schools. Since then, Moms for Liberty has worked to elect right-wing school board candidates, oppose teachings about race in schools, curb the rights of LGBTQ+ students, and advocate for book bans. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated Moms for Liberty an anti-government extremist group.
On Sunday, in a video first posted by Hawaii-area drag queen Marina del Rey to her Facebook profile, the woman, now identified as Bourne, began recording a video with her cell phone as she started berating drag queens that were in the lobby of the Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach.
In the video, Bourne took aim at the drag queens as she accused the hotel of failing to provide a safe environment for her son.
While on vacation in Hawaii, this Karen gets shaking mad when she sees a drag queen in the lobby for a Pride Celebration brunch.
