RuPaul responds to proposed drag queen ban: 'Take away them guns, that will help your kids'

RuPaul is speaking out against the proposed ban on minors attending drag shows in Texas.

During a recent appearance on “The Late Late Show", host James Corden acknowledged that drag has become mainstream globally, adding, “which makes to me and so many people what’s happening in Texas all the more shocking.”



Corden brought up the ban was that was proposed by lawmakers, which would not allow minors to attend drag shows in the state, before asking RuPaul his opinion on the matter.

“This is a diversion tactic to take the narrative away from the gun debate into something to scare people into thinking about something else and they’ve been successful,” the 61-year-old drag icon said. “They have changed the narrative away from the gun debate into this drag queen thing. It’s like y’all want to help your kids? Take away them guns, that will help your kids. Drag queens ain’t hurting nobody!”

He was so kind and genuine. He was friends with some of my friends who were from Atlanta.

Exactly right.

But incels with guns are hurting plenty of people, including kids. But, oh no. We can't do anything about that! Won't someone think of the guns?!

So, let's just punch down on those damned drag queens. Why can't everyone be "normal"... You know, like the Proud Boys?
