In a surprising turn of events, an attempt to shut down a drag show in Upstate New York has resulted in an outpouring of support for the 21+ event. Pastor Tim Lindsay of Harvest Christian Fellowship initially called for the cancellation of the drag brunch show scheduled for October 1 at The Lockstone, a local event space. When organizers declined, Pastor Lindsay, along with 23 other local clergy members, published an open letter on OrleansHub.com. In the letter, they expressed concerns about the show's adult content and its potential impact on the community, particularly children.
However, their efforts backfired as the community rallied behind the Drag Me to Brunch event, leading to a quick sellout of tickets. The event featured prominent drag queens, including Mrs. Kasha Davis and Darienne Lake from RuPaul's Drag Race. Comments on social media overwhelmingly supported the event, with many advocating for acceptance and understanding.
This unexpected turn of events highlights the importance of inclusivity and embracing diversity in our communities. It also serves as a reminder that attempts to stifle creative and inclusive expressions often result in a stronger and more united response.
