“Drag Shows Are No Place For A Child” Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton Files Bill To Ban Drag Shows In The Presence Of Minors

Bryan Slaton, a Texas State Representative, announced on Monday that he will be filing a bill to ban drag shows in the presence of minors in the state of Texas.

Slaton posted the announcement on Twitter saying “Drag shows are no place for a child.”

The bill comes on the heels of weekend drag shows that subjected children to inappropriate sexual content by adults, some of which encouraged children to jump on stage and dance for money. Several videos and news stories also circulated over the weekend showing protesters at the ‘kid friendly’ drag shows – at least one of those drag shows happened at a bar in Dallas, Texas.

In the twee Slaton said,

“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 [Texas Legislature.]”

Representative Slaton also issued the following statement:

“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.”

The Texas legislature passed a bill to protect women in sports by banning biological males from competing on girls sports teams, making Texas the 10th state to enact such legislation.

In addition, Governor Greg Abbott issued a directive that calls for abuse investigations into the use of gender-affirming care for transgender children.
