An LGBTQ group is asking St. George elected officials to take action against council member Michelle Tanner for her “polarizing rhetoric” about the drag community.
for not revoking the permit for the show. During a screening of the HBO segment in December, one of the show’s creators and executive producers, Stephen Warren, called it “a love letter” to St. George.
One of the residents stunned by Brazell’s use of inappropriate language – especially coming from one who is ostensibly adept at media strategy and relations – was Katheryne Knight, who was at the meeting and has been a vocal critic of Tanner. “I wouldn’t wish anyone to have to hear the vile, threatening, and profane words directed at me from members of the LGBTQ community,” she continued. Tanner added that she was “grateful to see the community uniting against profanity in front of minors, including the new concerns from those who expressed no concern for the same words stated in front of children” during the filming of “We’re Here.”
Brazell’s remarks preceded the council members’ vote to renew the city’s sponsorship of the Downtown Farmers Market for six months. Tanner wanted to scrap the sponsorship due to co-owner Kat Puzey’s decision to allow a Christmas drag photo booth in her own private business, Mofaco, over the Thanksgiving Day weekend that was separate from the market.
“Instead of bringing people together, she seems intent on tearing them apart and promoting contention and division …"said St. George resident Owen Johnson, who would like to see Tanner removed from office.Justin Lee, former state director of elections, says there are no remedies to remove politicians except to defeat them in the next election.
