Breitbart News @BreitbartNews The Oregon State Legislature opens its session with a drag show for Pride Month 11:25 AM · Jun 19, 2025

A circus Drag Show is happening on the floor of the Oregon House of Representatives right now. I wish I could tell you this is AI folks, but it is very …very real. If this isn’t a perfect illustration of how much of a joke the Democrat-led Oregon government is, I don’t know what is. Just wow.

Fenway Park's annual Pride Night has been heavily criticized online in the days since a group of drag queens were welcomed on the field in Boston before the Red Sox hosted the Tampa Bay Rays. 'Gross' and 'disgusting' were just two of the judgements posted on X, where many others joined in the attack. 'Be more like the @Rangers,' another added, referring to the only Major League Baseball team without a Pride Month celebration. Several commenters questioned the logic behind MLB events aimed at including LBGTQ+ fans, arguing they're not really baseball's target audience. However, a 2021 survey by the...

Several drag queens protested and booed President Donald Trump as he attended a performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday. The president’s visit marked his first since the inauguration. Video captured the moment several drag queens stood up in the audience as he appeared: The president has always hailed Les Misérables as his favorite musical. As Consequence recently reported, half the play’s cast decided to boycott the performance due to the president’s visit. Several cast members of Les Misérables will not be performing “One Day More” at their Kennedy Center concert next month — instead, they’ll be...

- A drag queen storytime event planned for next week in Monterey is stirring controversy and sparking strong opinions across the community. The event, hosted by the Monterey Public Library in partnership with Monterey Peninsula Pride and Oscar’s Playground, is scheduled for June 11 and features a drag performer named Saint Sallos.

Although the Trump administration has made significant inroads toward eradicating the taxpayer-supported spread of transgender ideology across America’s youth, some examples of the insidious practice still remain. Most recently, New York’s Museum of Natural History began drawing harsh criticism from parents and others who oppose an eight-minute video being played on a loop inside the museum. “Dragfox,” a stop-motion-animated production, tells the story of a fox who takes a “magical journey” with a cross-dressing boy wearing his sister’s dress. The thinly veiled pro-trans message wasn’t lost on a slew of parents and children’s advocates, as the New York Post reported:...

The drag queen Jiggly Caliente has died aged 44 after a “severe infection”, her family confirmed. The performer, whose real name was Bianca Castro-Arabejo, rose to fame after taking part in the fourth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Caliente’s family announced on Thursday that the Filipino-American drag performer had part of her leg amputated due to the infection. Her family wrote on Instagram that she was “cherished by many” for her career, and died on Sunday at 4.42am “surrounded by her loving family and close friends”.

The Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) will be holding a conference titled “Lead With Pride Summit: Out, Proud, and Moving Forward!” at the Westin in Anaheim at the end of April, 2025. The summit is every bit as horrific as it sounds and will be attended, if last year’s summit is any metric, by district superintendents, County Office of Educations personnel, administrators, teachers, DEI managers, activists, Education College professors, and drag queens from around the State.

In a ruling that should outrage every parent, taxpayer, and conservative voter in Texas, a federal judge has stomped all over the authority of the Texas A&M University Board of Regents—greenlighting a sexually charged, ideologically driven drag show to proceed on campus despite a commonsense ban. Senior U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal, appointed by George H. W. Bush, issued a sweeping preliminary injunction Monday that forces Texas A&M to allow the so-called “Draggieland” event—a campus drag show hosted by the “Queer Empowerment Council” (QEC)—to proceed in the Rudder Theatre.

A female pastor blasphemed Jesus as a “drag queen,” and a trans activist appeared to make threats of violence during a city council meeting in Massachusetts following federal changes that limit legal recognition of transgender identities. The apparent threat came during a Worcester City Council meeting before the board voted 9-2 on Feb. 12 to designate the city as a sanctuary for trans and “gender-diverse” people. Worcester, located about 35 miles west of Boston, is the second-biggest city by population in the state, with just over 200,000 residents. The resolution, titled "Sanctuary City for Transgender and Gender Diverse People,” prevents...

Rep. Salazar: "I understand Mr. Anzios that you do not agree with the way that Elon Musk has conducted his investigation into USAID - but I do believe you know -coming from the world of television that you are judged by the results not by the process and Musk has discovered things that are completely and absolutely embarrassing ... let's start with Venezuela ... they make it to Ecuador, I mean they're tired and then they encounter that the United States, which is the Beacon of Hope, is offering this program to become a Drag Queen - so I think...

... It’s uncomfortable to watch a younger version of yourself put through this, with their boundaries, privacy and dignity totally disregarded by our narcissistic dads. One day these children will look back at what their fathers put in the public domain, and it will further complicate their feelings around their father’s transition. A couple of years after I moved in with my father, who at that time was ‘living as a woman’ but hadn’t any surgery, I was brought to a pub in London for my father to discuss with another transsexual the possibility that I could be useful in...

Vice President Kamala Harris hired a communications staffer this summer who boasts that he performs as a drag queen on the weekends. Eric Lipka, the Harris campaign’s Pennsylvania deputy press secretary, has gone by the drag queen names “Erotica the Drag Queen,” “Erotica,” and “Erica Lipka,” on social media, Fox News Digital reported, and his name has been featured in dozens of public Facebook posts. He danced and performed drag at a “Saint Saturday” event in Richmond, Virginia in January 2024, according to Fox, and in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware as well as various locations in Maryland, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C....

What do Democrat elites think will motivate their base in crucial swing states to turn out for Kamala Harris in November? Drag queens and rapper Cardi B, for starters. Michelle Obama is promising men in dresses and “Wet Ass Pussy” as part of an initiative called “Party at the Polls” — a series of live performances that are set to take place in swing states from now until election day. The goal? To motivate Democrats to cast their vote for Kamala Harris in places where she is losing ground to former President Donald Trump. In Arizona, where Trump maintains a...

Somebody called in a bomb threat to the Somerville MA central library on Highland Avenue shortly before 2 p.m - the scheduled start of a drag-queen story hour, which was then cancelled as police combed the building for a bomb that didn't exist. In addition to Somerville officers, the Cambridge bomb squad responded - and then left shortly after 3 p.m. after no bomb was found. The Somerville Fire Department was called in as a precaution and the building was cleared. Outside, chanting right-wingers, one carrying a large blue-stripe flag, were significantly outnumbered by story-hour supporters. Somerville City Council President...

On June 1, the first day of “pride” month, drag queens set a Guinness World Record for attendance when 263 people showed up in Philadelphia to hear one of their infamous story hours. On Aug. 24, one of the hundreds of Americans hosting wholesome story hours in nearly every state across the country hope to dwarf that record on See You at the Library Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris has yet to sit for one-on-one interview after becoming the Democrat party’s de facto nominee last week. Harris’s lack of media accessibility suggests she might run a similar campaign to President Joe Biden, who seldomly held solo press conferences and rarely sat for live interviews. It also indicates Harris might be concerned about answering questions related to her radical record. GovTrack’s scorecard ranked her as the most liberal senator in 2019, further left than socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), leading writers of the New York Times to rate Harris as the least electable of ten possible...

The artistic director of the LBGT-themed Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony has claimed he did not intend to portray the Last Supper after an apparent parody of the Biblical event drew outrage from Christians across the world.Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, denied on Sunday that he was not “inspired” by the Last Supper, despite the striking similarities between the Leonardo da Vinci depiction of the Jesus Christ’s Last Supper with his 12 Apostles and the drag queen tableau shown at the opening of the Paris games.“You will never find in me any desire to mock, or...
