"RuPaul's Drag Race" star Jinkx Monsoon doubled down on her denouncement of the Republican-led legislative push to restrict drag performances, in an interview that aired Friday on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle."
“What I want to say to the people trying to oppress my community right now, is look what’s happened every time you’ve tried to oppress a community in America,” Monsoon told Ruhle. “You tried to oppress women, women got the vote. You tried to oppress people of color, we’re not accepting that anymore.”
She added, "We’re not accepting that some citizens just have to sit on the outside and be the outliers of our society, because that’s not what this country was supposedly founded on."
Lawmakers in at least 16 states have so far this year proposed legislation that would restrict drag performances, according to an NBC News analysis. The majority of the bills would ban the performances in the presence of minors and fine repeat violators thousands of dollars. Some would ban the art form in public and would send repeat violators to prison.
This month, Tennessee became the first state to enact such legislation, banning “adult cabaret entertainment” on public property or in locations where it can be viewed by minors.

Oh, baby, now you’re such a drag
-Frank Zappa
Man I’m stuck in the 20th century. Drag racing to me meant drag racing, you know, with cars.
I love nitromethane funnycars...... that is all.
When reprobates are angry angels get their wings.
They need to be asked all the time.....WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR KIDS TO SEE DRAG SHOWS????? Let them explain......
that’s what i thought when i read it
GTH, predators
Someone else who failed to recognize that the worm always turns
It’s always the Camero people who complain
My first thought was Top Fuel and Funny Cars.........
Glad I decided to read the article rather than making off the cuff comments on a posting I never read..........
Stop doing sex show in front of minors you sick freak.
This sicko is a mentally ill male who the article is trying (and failing) to pretend is female. Very confusing.
Well there I was thinking this was something about the NHRA. But no, just yet even more woke nonsense. SMDH.
It bugs me to no end when the media constantly refer to these perverted phagots as “she”. No matter how much this sick freak wishes, or what it “self-identifies” as, having body parts chopped off and wearing women’s underwear DOES NOT make it a SHE! Genetics decided that at conception, and no mentally ill nut can change it!
A hit dog hollers first, as the saying goes
I thought they were talking about street-racing and the “side shows” that some urban youth are engaging in.
Take your little drag community and move to Africa, we don’t want your perversions in our country.
“restrict drag performances.”
More MSM wordplay and gas-lighting
The only restrictions being debated are in front of children and in public spaces
