Drag performer 'Daddy Satan' announced the cancellation Sunday.

by JACKSON WALKER | The National DeskA demonstrator releases colored smoke as others wave Palestinian flags in a pro-Palestinian rally at the Felestin Sq. in Tehran, Iran, Friday, Oct. 20, 2023. Drag performer "Daddy Satan," who describes herself as a “Proud Biracial, Pansexual, Chameleon” Drag Demon, announced via Instagram Saturday a local bookstore has cancelled its upcoming “Drag Show for Palestine.

As "Daddy Satan" explained, however, organizers were forced to cancel the event as it had gained unwanted attention online.. "A lot of them were ‘why don’t you try this drag show in Palestine and see what they think of you?’ I don’t need to go to another country to see how they may treat queers. The way they treat queer people in America is terrifying enough.”of the event shared via social media appears to indicate children could attend the event with adult supervision.

Podcast host Joe Rogan this month blasted "Drag Queen Story Hour,” claiming such events are a misuse of students' time on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “I don’t want that gang of morons teaching my children about biological sex or gender,” he said. “I don’t want you teaching them anything about any of those things.”
