A California Democrat responded to a Texas lawmaker’s plan to protect children from drag shows by vowing to introduce legislation that would force “Drag Queen 101” on K-12 schoolchildren.
“Drag shows are no place for a child,” Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton tweeted. “I would never take my children to a drag show and I know Speaker Dade Phelan and my Republican colleagues wouldn’t either. I will be filing legislation to address this issue in the new #txlege.”
Slaton’s comment comes after a number of videos circulated over the weekend showing parents taking young children to gay bars to watch drag shows, and in some cases participate in them.
“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.
California state Sen. Scott Wiener responded to Slaton’s tweet by saying it gave him an idea for a new piece of legislation.
“Offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum,” said the gay lawmaker, who represents San Francisco. “Attending Drag Queen Story Time will satisfy the requirement.”
This guy just gave me a bill idea:
Offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum. Attending Drag Queen Story Time will satisfy the requirement. https://t.co/Sogz2Ag8jV
