A Republican Texas lawmaker announced on Monday he will introduce legislation to ban drag shows from being performed in the presence of minors in the state, after a recent drag show in a Dallas bar was held open to families and children.

The show over the weekend was titled “Drag the Kids to Pride Drag Show.” The event was advertised as a “family-friendly” flaunt as part of events marking Pride Month. Some protesters gathered outside the event to express how upset they were to have kids attend such a show.
