A content designer has claimed that he was fired after posting criticism of drag shows for children as young as two on a social media account.
The ex-employee of the Mountain View-based tax software company Intuit alleges he was illegally fired for Instagram posts criticizing drag queen events for children.
A lawsuit filed on Thursday in San Francisco Superior Court, reviewed by news website SFGATE, alleges that Brian Gilton, 37, was fired by the tech company days after he posted two scathing screeds about children attending 'drag shows'.
Gilton, described in the lawsuit as 'a passionate 37-year old white male,' alleges that he was terminated from the role 'because of his participation in political activity, including political speech' and that Intuit violated California labor laws as a result.
In June 2022, Gilton posted two separate messages about cultural 'pendulum swings' in drag performances. The suit alleges that both posts were shared 'during non-working hours away from the employer's premises'.
'We've got 2-year-old babies at drag shows, and contemporary leftists are cheering it on to prove how "progressive" they are – "progressive" at all costs,' Gilton wrote in one Instagram post published on June 14, 2022.
In the post he compared drag shows to strip club performances but he also wrote that homosexuality is 'not wrong'.
The post read: '… These deeply, deeply lost leftists who are cheering on drag queen hour for 3-year-olds are lost in a planet-sized collective reaction to 40-year-old cultural conservatism.'
Most of the drag performances for children are 'story hours' in which queens read at libraries and other child-friendly public spaces.

Exhibit A: Elon Musk (and he is a "Libertarian" which translated into plain english means a Cannabis user and infanticide supporter who wants lower taxes ).

Fired because he objected to children at drag shows on his personal postings. He should file Suit for wrongful termination

Just a coincidence? That is what they always say.
Unless they say it had been planned for months.
4 years ago I was activities chair for our Boy Scout district and one evening I was called in by our Scout Master and a guy from the council and they had 16 printouts from my Facebook account since 2009 which they found objectionable. They asked me what my response to the Council would be and I told them they didn’t have the authority to control my speech.
BINGO!!!!
The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
“passionate”?? No, passionate would have walked into work one day with a bag of ammo and a gun and shot all the pedo co-workers who pimp for this crappola.
That is passionate.
Being a father is doing anything short of that. Anything and everything.
What was the outcome of your ordeal?
They gave me a warning and I left the printouts of the posts they gave me at a buddy’s house and forgot about them. For my birthday he gave me them all to me cut up nicely in two picture frames. I have them hanging on my wall.
