Today is International Drag Day, John! But despite the creativity, tenacity and artistry continuously displayed by drag performers, bigoted politicians are still trying to criminalize and demonize drag, as this recent headline shows:
As drag shows go ‘mainstream,’ some red states look to restrict them
Most Americans oppose bans, polls show, but conservatives keep filing bills. -- Stateline
We can't afford to let our guard down! Today and every day, we must support our drag performers and stand against these hateful bans. Add your name today to let these bigots know: we won't tolerate hateful drag bans! [[link removed]]

Numerous anti-drag bills are working their way through the states. Though some bills have passed, several courts have luckily ruled that drag bans are a violation of the First Amendment. Still other states have banned minors from attending drag story hours or shows, peddling deeply harmful myths about drag artists. They've been called "groomers" and "pedophiles" simply for reading to children - it's outrageous!
It's clear that Americans don't support hateful drag bans, and that drag is something to celebrate. So let these hateful politicians know: we won't let you ban drag! [[link removed]]
