Ever Been to a Drag Show?

79. Thoughts from an actual drag queen...

As an actual drag queen and the owner of a queer website that the United States Library of Congress selected for preservation in their LGBTQ+ archive, I obviously have been to numerous drag shows and they are incredibly fun. But I can also tell you that the fear in the drag community across the country is very real. We have become the latest bogus, non-issue in search of a solution by the right. While many drag shows are not appropriate for children, they take place in the evening or even after midnight in a lot of cases. I find it ironic that the people who are screaming “Parents rights!” when it comes to school curriculum don’t believe in a parent’s right to take their child to a drag show if they deem it appropriate for them This past Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security raised concerns about potential threats to the LGBTQ, as well as to Jewish and migrant communities from violent extremists inside the United States. There is palpable fear that Pulse and the Club Q club shootings could happen again. I'm asking my fellow DUers to vocally and loudly state their support for the LGBTQ+ community because things are as bad as I've seen for my community in many years.

Long story short: Statistics show your children are infinitely safer around drag queens than they are around Republican Congressman and assorted clergy.
