Outrage has popped up across Texas after a recent “Pride” event in McKinney featured over-sexualized drag performances aimed at children who were sitting in the front row.
The “Pride” themed event, billed as a family-friendly celebration, quickly devolved into a disturbing spectacle of adult “entertainment” that left many questioning the motivations behind these so-called “inclusive” celebrations.
Photos and videos circulating online show drag performers in revealing outfits, one in a high-cut neon orange piece of lingerie, dancing and interacting with young children, raising serious concerns about the appropriateness of such displays at public events.
The Texas Family Project posted a highlighted video of the event, with drag performers literally dancing in the faces of extremely young children in attendance with their parents. Adjacent to this shocking scene were multiple booths selling rainbow flags and other merch pedaled to the crowds looking to buy plastic wares emblazoned with pro-LGBTQ+ sayings or images.
One person commented to the posted online video, saying, “Society is cooked.” Another added, “The word family has no place in this.”
As The Dallas Express has previously highlighted, many Texans continue to argue that drag shows, often marked by adult themes and provocative dancing, have no place at publicly advertised family events – especially when children are present.
Texas Family Project, a leading advocacy group to protect children across The Lone Star State, called on local officials to put an end to drag shows that target minors.
With “Pride Month” underway, many fear these events will become more frequent, exposing more children to grotesquely adult or sexual ideologies – ideologies that seem far from what a child should ever be thinking about.
Those with left-wing ideologies continue to host these child-friendly drag shows almost as a provocation to any American with conservative values, let alone the basic apolitical value of protecting children. A series of grossly provocative efforts to expose children to not only LGBTQ+ events but simply events that are trying to blur the line between adult entertainment and family-friendly atmospheres, as previously covered by DX.
The McKinney Area Democratic Club and the Collin County Democratic Party were featured tiered sponsors for the event.
Many wonder when the imposed gender and sexual agendas are going to stop being imposed on innocent young kids – regardless of their parent’s political views.
