In the article, Libertarians were bashed, but I’m a Libertarian. I don’t condone this sh!t. It’s disgusting.

Drag is for adults. If an adult wants to go see drag, feel free, but leave your kids out of it. When it comes to children, parents have an obligation to educate their children while also shielding them and protecting them. This is not protecting their children; quite the opposite.

I have no idea what is wrong with these people. -shudder-

I wonder what the thinking is behind making up a "libertarian" straw man:

"This is one of the reasons why I have no patience anymore for libertarian conservatism. It has no answers for stuff like this. “Well I don’t like it but people can do what they want blah blah blah...” Enough of that weak crap."

The people involved are not conservatives, and they aren't libertarian conservatives. They are almost certainly liberals or outright socialists. Somehow according to Matt Walsh and Megan Fox the libertarian conservatives are to blame for the actions of a bunch of wacky leftists. That is a ridiculous argument.

In reality, the only way to stop adults from taking their children to see drag performances is to convince the parents that they shouldn't do so. What are the other options in a free society?

Libertarian conservatives aren't likely to be taking their kids to drag shows, and many are probably doing more to convince people not to expose their children to adult activities than Matt and Megan are doing.

What the libertarian conservatives are smart enough to recognize is that enabling the government to control parenting is a bad idea, one that we should all oppose. And trying to censor some kinds of performances loved by leftists isn't a solution either.
