Texas has been making strides for a while now to protect children from anything and everything LGBTQ+ related. But instead of drafting gun laws to protect kids from school shooters like in Uvalde, lawmakers have proposed new legislation to ban drag shows, according to NBC News.
A video went viral of a group of kids attending a drag show in Dallas. Per NBC, the event titled Drag the Kids to Pride Drag Show was intended to be family friendly, given most drag shows have age restrictions. During the event, a crowd of protestors gathered outside. After the video circulated, Republican representatives wasted no time responding to it.
In a tweet, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green equated drag shows to strip clubs, claiming it should be illegal to bring children either because it intentionally confuses children about gender/sexuality. Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton said the law was necessary to protect children from perverted adults obsessed with sexualizing young children.
More on the drag show ban from NBC News:
Podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey, who has over 357,000 followers on Twitter, went as far as suggesting the parents, performers and bar owners should be charged with sexual abuse of children.

But, but, but.. I know. 6" heels - especially when worn by drag queens - are far more dangerous than bullets firing out of an AR-15.

But, that's right.. Let's protect the kiddies from a drag queen and her 6" heels. That'll make everything all better.
The only fucking "kids" being protected by such bans are Incel Bryan Slaton and brats like Abbutt and Poxton. They're childish brats. Always have been, always will be. And it's them whose fragile eggshell minds can't handle drag shows or trans people.
What's the matter, guys? Offended that you got turned on by a drag queen? Angry that they're hotter than your wives (except for Slaton, whose picture is in the dictionary next to "Groomer"? Jealous that they're more, well, endowed than you (which is a low bar, since you all have micro-penises)?
But, oh no. Let's terrorize the drag queens and trans people and non-binary and anyone who doesn't meet the criteria of gender in your single-cell "brains." Let's not make sure the power stays on during what will be a brutal summer. Let's not enact gun control or take measures to make sure kids don't get shot at school. Let's not work to get COVID under control.
If I had kids, I wouldn't let them within 1,000 miles of Texbekistan. You know why? Guns. COVID. POS power grid. Abbutt. Poxton. Cancun Cruz. Creepo-looking Incel Slaton... Should I keep going?
Fuck off, Incel Slaton and all Texas Nazis. Quit bullying us. Quit targeting us. Quit trying to make our lives into hell. Just shut the fuck up, grow up and grow a brain already!
