The “Drag the Kids to Pride” drag show sparked outrage between conservatives, parents, attendees of the event, and police on Saturday, June 4 afternoon. The drag show was held in a Dallas bar called Mr. Misster in the Oak Lawn neighborhood. The organizers called it a "family-friendly spin-off of their Champagne Drag Brunch that would allow kids to dance with performers on stage."
Texas House Rep. Bryan Slaton (R) tweeted that Drag shows are "no place for a child." He said he would never take his children to a drag show, and he knows Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan and his Republican colleagues wouldn’t either. Slaton will be filing legislation to address this issue in the new #txlege
BlazeTV hosts sounded off, calling on lawmakers to stand against the perverse practice of normalizing the presence of minors in a setting that is a far cry from kid-friendly.

we are now taking children to cross-dressing strip shows; if you don't see that as teetering on the edge of losing civilization, you and I disagree.

'Pat Gray Unleashed'
Pat Gray covered a "disgusting" story published in a parenting magazine that just released some "helpful tips" about how someone should take their kids to a pride event. Although these festivals may be noisy and crowded (and include public nudity), this magazine reassures its readers that yes, your kids should still be taken to a pride parade!
