In the aftermath of a drag show at a gay bar in Texas attended by children, state representatives in Texas and Florida have vowed to introduce legislation to make it a crime for an adult to bring a child to a drag show, with loss of parental rights as a potential consequence.
On June 4, Mr. Misster bar and nightclub hosted the “Drag the Kids to Pride” event. At the performance—billed as “a family-friendly drag show”—drag queens danced and slithered on the floor while children were encouraged to give them money. Children were also encouraged to join the performers to dance and “strike a pose.”
