As the current Miss Pikeville Pride it is imperative that people of all ages are able to gather and share stories and yes see drag entertainment. Drag saved my life in the 90s. It gave me a stage to be creative and help me understand who I was as an individual. Expression is imperative for ALL people no matter how they identify.
Drag is one of the most dynamic and human forms of expression we have, and to criminalize art and the voices of those already fighting to hold the same space allotted to any other person is simply the enabling of hatred under the fragile guise of protection. When drag kings and queens have been responsible for the amount of death and destruction as the church, we can talk. Until then, our stage, our space and our craft will remain our right to share with and AT pride.
I’m a member of the ULC and a Proud Christian. I don’t let my faith affect me being a proud Bisexual as well my God has no problem with any of his children expect those who twist his words and use them to hate others!
I grew up in a strict Christian household. And even my very strict religious parents believe this is wrong. And very unchristian like. In their words they said “shame on that church”
Christianity is about spreading love not hate. And this is a clear example of hate that needs to be stopped
Drag is about freedom, liberation, and expression. For that reason I can understand why the Christian church fears it. The church has historically valued strict gender roles and continues to do so. Imposing its values on willing congregations is one thing, but attempting to police entire populations outside of their church is simply unacceptable. Legally and morally drag performers have a right to exist in full view of people who WANT to see them.
