An LGBT group in Newark, Ohio, has been forced to cancel an event planned to celebrate the city's Pride Week following intervention from a leading local Republican and an online backlash against its"drag queen celestial makeup tutorial."
"But the joke is apparently on the taxpayers, who fund our libraries," Householder wrote in a letter opposing the event."This is a stunningly bizarre breach of the public trust. And it must stop." The Newark Ohio Pride Coalition offered a written response to the speaker, asking Householder to appraise himself of the facts relating to the event. They explained the educational event was also meant to discuss a safer-sex program.
"We would like to conclude our statement by publicly asking Speaker Larry Householder to respect the civil liberties of Newark, Ohio's residents," the group wrote."We also ask that, in the future, Speaker Householder take the time to gather accurate facts, prior to issuing a factually inaccurate response to a program hosted by and for our community."
And the box, gets even smaller.
Well damn the bad luck, how are men supposed to learn how to do their makeup.
KathyNature PC reich-wingers having a meltdown over a make-up tutorial? Typical.
I don't think we should recruit small kids or try to indoctrinate them into the public collective of forced diversity. You gonna teach them how to put on condoms or the rules of orgies while we're at it? They're kids... Let them be free from this goofy identity crap for awhile.
Make ppl comfortable with something by exposure. Look at families that abuse substances....
Well. Any workshop on make up regardless of who is attending makes me cringe. It's another way that the billion-dollar cosmetic industry can continue to play on people's vulnerabilities while experimenting on animals.
Drag culture is everything we vilify in cis women as being shallow, fake and plastic. Encouraging make up only parts people from their money, ages your skin, looks caked and dry, and really isn't necessary. I don't encourage it for cis girls let alone anyone else. Pointless BS
We need to stop encouraging mental illness and child grooming, we’re going to cringe when we look back at this time in history
So afraid of anyone who isn’t in “their box”. Sad. What year is it for Republicans?
Utterly ridiculous...the party of freedom tries so hard to keep people from being free.
Que the triggered conservative snowflakes in ....3....2.....1.... Go
Really? Republicans afraid of overdone hair and make up? Have they seen FLOTUS ?
If we can't hold a prayer service at a publicly funded library, then you can't hold a drag queen makeup tutorial there. 🤷🏾♂️ EqualityForAll HappyPride
WTF is with the addiction by these people to push this on toddlers?
Please make the Rainbow non sexual & for childten again...
Whatever happened to just reading a good ol fashioned not politically charged book or singing a song about farm animals to kids?
