The words 'doth protest too much' spring to mind.
But Jason Vaughn, president of Houston Young Republicans, noted that independent committees were created to address those issues, and that Slaton doesn’t serve on the House’s committee.

For decades, family-friendly entertainment has depicted biological men dressed as women for comedic effect, from Bugs Bunny to Mrs. Doubtfire. Yet Adri Perez, policy and advocacy strategist for ACLU of Texas, sees it differently. Slaton is yet another far-right politician attempting to get his name in the news, they said, and it's disappointing to see Texas legislators focused on non-issues regarding the queer community.
It’s not a legislator’s role to limit the freedoms of speech and expression for those with whom they disagree, Perez said. Conservatives are attempting to distract from the fact they’ve done nothing to address the failing power grid and other statewide crises.Texas has long been “openly hostile” toward the LGBTQ+ community, but Equality Texas CEO Ricardo Martinez notes that for nearly a century, drag shows have provided safe spaces.
