But conservatives nationwide are applauding Slaton and have already considered copying the move.įlorida state Rep. #txlege - Bryan Slaton JLGBTQ+ advocates have been sounding the alarm in Texas and beyond that their right to exist is under attack. I am glad this important issue is receiving the attention it deserves. Since this press release was put out this morning I've received support from Republican lawmakers in both the Texas Legislature and in Congress. “Protecting our own children isn’t enough, and our responsibility as lawmakers extends to the sexualization that is happening across Texas.” “As a father of two young children, I would never take my children to a drag show and I know … the rest of my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either,” he continued. “The events of this past weekend were horrifying and show a disturbing trend in which perverted adults are obsessed with sexualizing young children,” Slaton said in a statement. Bryan Slaton tweeted that he’ll file a bill next session to ban drag shows from being held in the presence of minors. Now, a Texas Republican lawmaker wants to close the doors on all-ages drag events. Misster invited parents and their kids to attend a family-friendly drag show on Saturday, drawing angry protesters and sparking outrage on social media.
