About 30 protesters gathered in Arlington on Sunday to protest a Disney Drag Brunch event at Texas Live!, mirroring a similar protest in Dallas a week ago.
Standing outside in 100-degree heat, the protesters were about a block away from the event at Troys restaurant.
Their focus of the protest was on protecting kids, as one protester said, despite the Disney Drag Brunch being a 21 and up event with no minors allowed.

Can these assholes read? Can these assholes understand spoken words? Are they this damned hard up to terrorize the LGBTQ community that facts no longer matter? Wait.. Nevermind. I know the answer to the last one.
Here's a thought, Texas Nazis... You want to protect children? How about taking steps to make sure something like Uvalde never happens again.
And while you're at it, Abbutt, leave us the fuck alone.

They are out there in force to protect our children from the grave danger of men in drag. They are less worried about nut cases with assault rifles because the guy with the assault rifle would NEVER expose children to a drag show. No, all he wants to do is kill them.
