Joliet Pride invites children to bring dollar bills to 'tip the performers' at all-ages drag show in Illinois
A PrideFest event in Joliet, Illinois, advertised for children to bring dollar bills to "tip the performers" at an all ages drag show.
A screenshot of the advertisement was posted to Twitter by the popular social media account Libs of TikTok. Followers of the account immediately responded with scorn for the event planned for September 17.
\u201cJoliet, IL is having a pride fest sponsored by elected officials. They encourage kids to \u201cbring your dollar bills\u201d so they can hand tips to the drag queens during the all ages drag show\u201d— Libs of TikTok (@Libs of TikTok) 1663080911
The group appeared to delete the post from Facebook and replace it with a different version that didn't include the text about bringing dollar bills.
Profits from the event are going to fund Joliet PrideFest's outreach efforts, including "Joliet PrideFest free, the LGBTQ+ Youth Drop-in Center, Youth Queer Prom."
In April, the group organized an LGBTQ prom for high schoolers and included a drag show at that event as well.
The EventBrite invitation for the event showed the "Family Friendly Drag Show" was still scheduled for 5 to 7:30 p.m. while the "PrideFest AfterDark Leather and Lace" show was scheduled to start only half an hour later.
The Libs of TikTok account has exposed countless inappropriate drag shows and other extreme posts by members of the far left on social media. As a result, the account has been targeted by the news media and big tech companies, but it has been able to keep its online presence.
On Monday, the account was able to shut down a drag show promoted as a "Back to School" event for children in the city of Pocatello in southeast Idaho. The Southeastern-Idaho Pride posted on its Facebook page that it cancelled the show for security reasons.
"The event as planned was a G rated theatrical review, by all 18+ performers," their post read. "However, due to the misinterpretation of marketing materials, and to mitigate the harm to our LGBTQ+ community, we feel it is best to not proceed with this performance."

San Diego pastor: 'Drag is holy'
According to a San Diego pastor, “Drag is holy.” You can’t make this up.
The pastor says this in a video he took of himself dressed with rainbows adorning his religious wear.
He confidently says, “Drag is holy. There has been an assault on the rights of drag performers in this country, and we must call out the hypocrisy and the injustice, really.”
It gets worse. He goes on, “Jesus called himself a mother hen longing to gather up her chicks. Gender is a construct, you see, and if Jesus can be a mother hen, you can dress in drag. I’ve even heard it said that Jesus was, and humanity is, God in drag.”
Obviously, Pat Gray has something to say about this. He quotes Isaiah 5:20, before completely tearing into the pastor's deluded belief.
He says that no one talked about drag shows or drag queens before they started pushing drag on children. No one cared about RuPaul running around dressed like a woman and judging other men who dressed like women on his show.
No one cared until they came for the kids.
Gray says, “You’re sexualizing and confusing children. And this we will not tolerate. You can call us transphobes, haters, bigots — I couldn’t care less what you call us. You’ve gone way too far, and this is where we draw the line.”
We were warned about this evil about 2,800 years ago by the prophet Isaiah, and not for nothing.
If we let this evil fester in our society and take over our children, we will suffer the same fate as Sodom and Gomorrah.
Gray comments, “I have an aversion to fire and brimstone raining down from the sky. I’m averse to that.”
