Some lawmakers in Arizona introduced bills this year prohibiting children from attending drag shows, but as they try to keep kids away, a high school in southern Arizona held its second annual drag performance.
"I think people really need to look at the difference and stop equating every performance there is. A drag show at a nightclub at midnight is very different than a drag show at brunch at a nonprofit fundraising event, which is different from a drag show in the afternoon at the library, which is different from a drag show here at 6 p.m. in the evening put on by high school students," Shah said.
Linda Nelson says the group she was with was turned away from entering. She says she was going to the event to pray for people watching. "I've never seen a drag show. What bothers me is public schools are continually sexualizing kids," Nelson claimed.Students like Nick Zandaro says these events are important, and help students express their individuality.
