‘Not The People We Need’: GOP Senate Candidate, Former Navy Captain Nukes Navy For Drag Queen Recruitment Videos
'What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts'
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Live show has been touring the country — and Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” was lucky enough to score tickets to the Dallas show at Broadway Music Hall.
The show is “all ages,” and Gonzales noted seeing plenty of minors in attendance, despite extremely explicit and inappropriate content.
The drag queens gallivanted around the stage in barely there clothes and screamed obscenities like “my p**** is burning,” “y’all sucked the good d***s for these seats,” and made jokes to the audience about “bottoms” and “homosexuals.”
Gonzales caught it all on video and captured more than a few minors in attendance.
“I think anyone with two functioning brain cells can understand that this is child abuse. This doesn’t belong in, I would argue, America, for children, certainly not Texas,” Gonzales says. “We should have higher standards than that.”
Interestingly enough, the Texas legislature has passed SB 12, which is a law that prohibits children from attending sexually explicit performances — however, there are ongoing legal battles that have kept the law from being enforced.
“This is commonly referred to as a ‘drag ban’ by the left. Of course it's not, by the way, you’re telling on yourselves when you say that,” Gonzales says. “It’s not a ‘drag ban,’ but LGBT groups sued and were able to get a permanent injunction blocking the state from enforcing the law.”
The law will stay blocked until the court issues a final ruling on appeal.
Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison is horrified as well.
“There were very young children that were in attendance, and as the father of four young kids, the oldest is ten, I think that’s far and away the most offensive thing that’s going on here,” Harrison tells Gonzales.
“The state of Texas has long had laws enforcing certain types of community standards with regards to children, like, for example, a child cannot go to a strip club in the state of Texas, and what these businesses like that are doing, they’re clearly just getting around long-standing laws by calling them something else. They’re clearly putting on what is subjectively, and I think any sane, sentient person would see, is adult content,” he adds.

Television show "RuPaul's Drag Race" has raised $2 million in a little over a year to help the ACLU with a legal defense fund to protect drag queen performances.
The television show is a series about men dressed as caricatures of women competing in pageant-style events in front of judges. The show has raised a reported $2 million in just 14 months for the ACLU's initiative, the Drag Defense Fund.
According to the ACLU, the fund goes toward the legal defense of "LGBTQ rights, including censorship of drag performers themselves."
"The ACLU is committed to the importance of drag as a First Amendment right and an important form of artistic expression. It will also fuel the ACLU’s expansive advocacy work in support of the LGBTQ community," the ACLU wrote in 2023.
Several jurisdictions have put bans on drag shows on public grounds, typically under the guidelines that the shows are explicit and not suitable for minors.
Just months after the legal defense fund was established, the ACLU sued Texas over what the group called an "unconstitutional drag ban."
The lawsuit addressed Texas' SB12, which restricted "sexually oriented performances" on the "premises of a commercial enterprise, on public property, or in the presence of an individual younger than 18 years of age."
A federal judge also barred city officials in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, from implementing a ban on drag performances being performed on public property. The judge's order came after the ACLU of Tennessee brought a lawsuit forward.
The ACLU said at the time that the order "confirms that the community's free speech rights will be protected at the BoroPride Festival."
The civil liberties group also claimed that that its legal defense fund was keen on fighting "censorship" in the classroom related to "LGBTQ" topics.
Partners of the fund include MTV and World of Wonder, according to Variety. The latter is a streaming platform for drag queen television shows.
"Drag has a long history in the queer community as not only a source of joy and creativity but as a source of power. Thanks to the hard work and promotion of MTV, World of Wonder, and the queens of ‘Drag Race,’ the Drag Defense Fund continues to fuel our work defending LGBTQ rights across the country at a time those rights are under relentless attack," ACLU attorney Josh Block told Variety.
The lawyer specifically works on gay initiatives for the company as well as what was referred to as the HIV Project.
"We’re so thankful for this partnership and the support it provides our critical work defending LGBTQ people, our rights and our families," he added.
The ACLU also coupled the fight against particular policies with the defiance of what they called "anti-trans legislation." They referred to the bills as "bald attempts" at stifling the freedom of people expressing themselves and an attempt to "restrict [their] right to bodily autonomy and self-determination."
"RuPaul's Drag Race" has been running for 16 seasons.

The Texas Democratic Convention was held in El Paso and ended on Saturday. The convention featured speakers such as transgender activist Charlotte Clymer, gun control activist David Hogg, and "full-time" drag queen Brigitte Bandit.
Bandit – who hosts a drag show titled "Big T**s Bigger Dreams" and promotes the "Big D***s Bigger Dreams" drag show – declared to have "worked with children for over a decade" at the Texas Democratic Convention.
Bandit – who regularly posts sexually explicit photos on Instagram – has hosted several drag queen story hours for children, read to kids at a face-painting drag story hour with arts and crafts at the so-called all-ages "Family Dragtivity Day" in Austin, and is seen on video performing a show in front of several very young children.
Bandit argued that children are safer at a drag queen story hour than at their own schools.
Bandit – a biological male – spoke about the necessity for hormone blockers for trans youth at the three-day convention.
"Hormone blockers that are medically necessary for more than just trans youth," Bandit said. "Gender-affirming care is life-saving. We have a duty to protect our most marginalized communities. Trans kids deserve to grow into healthy adults."
Bandit concluded, "Free Palestine, long live Texas drag, protect trans kids, and happy Pride Month, everybody."
Bandit sued the state over Texas Senate Bill 12, legislation attempting to protect children from sexually oriented performances on public property. The bill was ultimately shot down by a federal judge in September and deemed to be "unconstitutionally overbroad and vague," according to the Texas Tribune.
Bandit reacted to the bill's demise by leading the crowd at a drag queen showcase in a chant against Republicans: "F*** Ted Cruz! F*** Greg Abbott! Trans Texans belong here! Drag queens belong here!"
In a 2023 profile by the Austin Chronicle, Bandit told the outlet, "I remember as a kid really struggling to learn the gender binary. I really struggled with understanding, like, okay, who's a boy and who's a girl? I remember the very first time I saw a butch lesbian – it blew my mind, it blew my mind! I think I've always understood that gender is something that's taught."
Bandit told the outlet about working with children since the age of 15.
"I've just been around kids in different ways throughout my life. It's comfortable for me. It's natural. I've always liked it," Bandit said.
Bandit's first performed in a drag show at age 26.
Bandit wears a breastplate for the onstage identity, and stated, "I have these big fake t***ies and I do outrageous stuff – just campy, goofy, big, colorful s**t."

Participants in an annual Easter Sunday drag queen event in San Francisco mocked Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and a number of values many Christians and conservatives share.
Readers of Blaze News should recall the antics of notorious drag group the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Well, the Sisters have been putting on the Easter event in San Francisco for decades, and this year a crowd of about 10,000 gathered in Dolores Park for the 45th annual "party," according to SFist.
Finalists for the "Hunky Jesus 2024" costume contest included Disco Ball Jesus, Golden Shower Jesus, Trailer Trash Jesus, and the eventual winner, Jesus Ken, who dressed up in a a Barbie toy box with his arms outstretched on a makeshift cross.
One drag queen, Sister Roma, asked, ”Is it wrong that I’m attracted to Trailer Trash Jesus?” SFist reported.
More from the outlet:
The Sisters did a nice turn where they brought last year’s Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary contest winners back onstage. The ensemble group and 2023 Hunky Jesus champions Haus of Jesus did a political “From the River to the Sea” dance protest (one of a few pro-Palestine messages that came up over the course of the day). Last year’s Foxy Mary winner, Free Choice Mary, announced her new pro-choice political project.
“I was really inspired to do this when the Sisters were under fire for what happened with the L.A. Dodgers,” Free Choice Mary noted to SFist.
Last June hundreds of protesters of various religions demonstrated against the Los Angeles Dodgers for honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence with a Community Heroes award on the team's Pride Night.
Free Choice Mary added to SFist that “my photo was actually being used on conservative websites as ‘trans man winning an abortion award.’ I want to spread the word that religion and abortion actually do intersect in a beautiful and compassionate way.”
More from the outlet:
Other Marys in the Foxy Mary contests included Make Love Not War Mary, Extra Virgin Mary, and a Miscarriage Mary (“I’m rewriting history so that Jesus never existed,” she told the crowd). The finals came down to the very sweet Maria de Confecciones Immaculada, and Puta Mary, who won thanks to a raucous cheering section from St. James Infirmary.
But your Easter Bonnet Contest winner was Miguel Gutierrez, seen above with his bear-y good Statue of Liberty bonnet. Gutierrez told us that part of his inspiration was that “Today is Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment,” the group says on its website, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. “We use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency, and guilt that chain the human spirit.”

A leftist church has decided to celebrate Easter by having scantily clad men masquerade as women and read to children.
Calgary Unitarians, a Unitarian Universalist sect in Calgary, Alberta, has announced it will be holding an all-ages event entitled "DRAG Me to Church: What does TRANSformation mean today?" on Easter Sunday.
"No matter what tradition you’re from, I guarantee you that you will have people in your community who identify on the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum — whether they are free to say it or not," Samaya Oakley, the leader of the group, told the Calgary Herald. "If we are truly people who believe in the goodness and the inherent love that exists in this world, then we would extend that to people on that spectrum."
The event does not appear to be a celebration of the animating Christian holy day but rather a protest of the province's proposed policies bolstering parental rights and protecting children from genital mutilation.
The event listing states that it will be a "thought-provoking service and sacred act of protest as we support our Trans Siblings during this current political climate."
Alberta's conservative government is poised to pass wide-sweeping policies and legislation that would bar children from undergoing sex-change medical procedures and taking puberty blockers; keep parents informed regarding their kids' efforts to transition at school; and keep women's sports free of transvestites.
These policies, denounced by LGBT activists and other radicals, are ostensibly part of a dual backlash against gender ideology and the erosion of parental rights in Canada. Similar policies have recently been introduced or discussed in other provinces such as Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.
These efforts in Canada come amidst the broader international collapse of gender ideologues' narrative.
Earlier this month, lawmakers in the French Senate released a landmark report claiming that the effort to victimize children with so-called "gender-affirming care" amounts to the "greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine."
England's National Health Service effectively banned puberty blockers for minors on March 12, underscoring their dangers and the lack of evidence to support their use.
Also this month, leaked internal documents from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health revealed that member practitioners are privately concerned over the debilitating and potentially fatal side effects of sex-change procedures as well as over the inability of kids to consent to sex-change procedures. This is especially damning because WPATH literally wrote the go-to guidebook for transgenderism.
In February, a comprehensive Finnish study published in the esteemed quarterly journal BMJ Mental Health concluded that "medical gender reassignment does not have an impact on suicide risk," obliterating one of the key claims pushed by LGBT activists in favor of sex-change surgeries.
Against the backdrop of this "political climate," the Calgary Unitarians will be "exploring the concept of TRANSformation in today's society with DRAG Queen performances and story time, singing, dancing, and thought provoking speakers."
An advertisement for the "sacred" event on the group's website shows four men in highly sexualized attire.
While non-creedal, Oakley's Calgary Unitarians appear dogmatic in their adherence to the current tenets of progressive liberalism. Extra to sharing land acknowledgments on its website, the group has posted the brands of various left-wing, eco-socialist, and identitarian causes, including Black Lives Matter and the similarly discredited "Every Child Matters" movement, which was predicated upon the debunked claim that there were mass graves full of native children outside of former residential schools.
