TX Bill Would Ban Minors From Attending Drag Shows

June 6, 2022 Christianists, Republicans

From Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton:

The events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children.

As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show and I know Speaker Dade Phelan and the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either.

Protecting our own children isn’t enough, and our responsibility as lawmakers extends to the sexualization that is happening across Texas.

I promised my voters that I would stand up for their values and fight to protect Texas kids.

I was re-elected on that promise and I intend to keep it by authoring legislation to defend kids from being subjected to drag shows and other inappropriate events.

I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass this important legislation.

Slaton, who is fond of making public appearances carrying an assault weapon and wearing a belt of ammunition, first appeared on JMG in March 2021 when he introduced a bill making abortion a death penalty crime for doctors and even women who undergo the procedure.

Earlier this year he introduced a bill requiring genital exams for trans athletes in public schools.

As I reported yesterday, extremists on Saturday mobbed and attempted to enter the Dallas gay bar hosting the event that has enraged the usual haters.
