FAIRFAX, Va.—The first-ever pride month event hosted by a major northern Virginia city triggered controversy over its hosting of drag queen performances where children were allowed to tip the performers.

At Fairfax City’s old town hall on June 3, children and adult spectators handed out bills to drag queens or men in female dresses and makeup. The independent city, home to over 24,000 residents, is located near Virginia’s most populous Fairfax County of over a million residents, many of whom work in the nation’s capital.
