Senate hopeful James Talarico is on the defensive after remarks resurfaced in which he lavished praise on Texas drag queens as "some of the best" in the country.
Talarico, the Democrats' nominee in Texas’ hotly contested Senate race, made the comment in May 2023 while criticizing a bill in the state legislature banning "sexually oriented performances" on public property and in the presence of minors — a measure that would have likely restricted some drag shows.
He voted "present" on the legislation at the urging of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus after language explicitly referencing drag performers was stripped from an earlier version, arguing the revised bill would better protect their performances, in a statement to The Texas Newsroom.
"I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation," Talarico told the outlet. "And I didn’t want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry."

And, it’s generally well known that it’s the most expensive in Austin.
Actual drag performers like Julian Eltinge were not necessarily homosexual. Milton Berle did sketches in drag all the time and nobody would mistake him for gay. Nowadays however, “drag queen” means an overweight, hirsute middleaged male pervert and narcissistic exhibitionist prancing around in women’s lingerie with glitter in his beard. This is the repulsive species Jimmy Six Genders is referring to.
Dallas Cowboys should have drag queen Rocquets for halftime! Rocquests who still have rocks!
That particular man goes by the name of Annie Christ. He’s from Lansdale, Pa.
“””However, I do not like “drag queen shows” in schools”””
There is an elementary school here that has a drag queen as it’s principal. Great role model, right?
Uncle Miltie was said to be huge....
He’s probably test driven them all so he should know.
Muzzies and drag queens peacefully coexisting in Texas?
Where the deer and the antelope “play”?
Hey, Texas Christians—you’ve got to get out and vote in November!
If drag queens are armed and dangerous, by all means protect yourself. If they are not just don’t hire them.
Tallywacko? He’s not a Texan. He’a Trannypsycho.
Oh C’mon, who hasn’t laid on a drag queen a time or two?
He is a TOTAL FREAK NUT CASE DEMOCRAT!! Redundant, I know.
Drag Queens is an industry???
Why Banned Books at Church?
Our library at St. Andrew's is home to a number of banned books, from picture books to young adult novels. We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice...common themes…particular experiences and identities being censored.
As a church, we feel it's important to make these books available to the community. One of our core values as a progressive Christian community is to, “strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.” Reading stories written by people with identities and life experiences different from our own helps us shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people. We can also find parts of ourselves in these stories, which helps us grow into the fullness of our being. Children, teens, young adults, and older adults can find affirmation in the books they read. Sometimes, stories even shine light on hidden and painful experiences letting readers know they are not alone.
As progressive Christians, we are committed to a path of life-long learning. We can't keep growing if we close our minds and shut out different ways of being in, experiencing, and understanding the world. Caring for the stories in banned books is one small, but important way of proclaiming our love for everyone, everywhere, all the time. Let's read and celebrate banned books together!

Talarico: “I think Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation.
Somebody’s mother put a hot spoon on their taste buds to get them to eat bad cooking.
I am so worried about the Senate race. TX is galloping toward socialism, Islam, and societal breakdown. What can we do?
