Hear hear! I wrote a story on the same topic not so long ago after some Texas conservatives were losing their shit over a popular family restaurant staging a family-friendly drag show. The restaurant was crystal clear in the ads for the show: no nudity, no sexualized dancing, no profanity would be part of the performances.

Protesters showed up with guns and swastikas.

I couldn't help illustrating my article with photos of Texas beauty pageants with little girls wearing highly sexualized outfits striking highly sexualized poses. I further illustrated it with photos of Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders teaching little girls how to grind their hips and shake their booties.

Nobody started protesting those pageants or the cheerleaders.

But then, I didn't expect anyone would, because I know the people protesting drag are hypocrites.
