A bunch of drag queens put on a show, during the day, with no alcohol, for a bunch of kids that can identify with it. It was supposed to be an affirming fun time for gay kids, and for those that wanted, they were going to get to walk the runway during the event.
But then these assholes showed up to protest. The level of vitriol that came from the protestors, with them yelling obscenities, recording and publishing videos with these children and their parents without consent, with the protestors entering the venue and trying to raise a ruckus both inside and outside as it was happening. It just makes my heart hurt. I would've killed to have parents that were supportive like that when I was a 12 year old, and the parents are being accosted for it. And the kids, the kids are being traumatized by grown ass men yelling at them about how they are sinners and wrong.
I mean, let's say you are walking down the street with your kid and someone on a bullhorn starts shouting at you, and they shout, "I just have one question, why do you want to put an axe wound in between your son's legs?" What do you do with that?
Apparently there is some "comedian" who was the ringleader. I don't know who Alex Stein is. I've never seen his act. But I will never see it now. I'm not interested in people who would do these types of things to children.
I just wish they'd get as upset about kids getting killed in schools as they do about kids going to a drag show.
