‘Armed guards protect all-ages drag event from far-right protesters’

From a queer organization that will not be linked.

Roanoke, Texas.

“Anti-LGBTQ demonstrators protesting a Sunday drag brunch at Anderson Distillery and Grill in Roanoke, Texas were met by armed counterprotesters carrying rifles. The incident illustrates the growing culture war as rightwingers baselessly accuse drag performers and the queer community of ‘sexualizing children,’ leading to threats of violence and mounting tensions.

“The restaurant held a ‘Barrel Babes Drag Brunch’ on August 28. Its advertisement said, ‘All Ages Welcome!’ The brunch was hosted by drag performer Trisha Delish.”

Not linking, but first mention of story found at Valor Guardians.
