Weeks after five people were killed at a Colorado Springs gay bar, drag performers are weighing how to keep their community safe.
Among the most targeted drag events have been those intended for children, like libraries’ drag queen story hours. This isn’t a coincidence,“I think they’re using drag queen story hour as kind of this way in,” West said. “They can’t call us faggots anymore, so they’re calling us groomers and pedophiles.”the night of a drag event, performers across the country are determined for the show to go on, but fear what could happen next.
“We didn’t know what was going on,” said Jaleel Cheek, who performs alongside Tatum. “With all of us confined in this space with no light inside or outside, not knowing if there’s people waiting for you outside or hiding, anything could have happened in that moment.” “You’re so worried about protecting children, supposedly, and you’re screaming and acting like this to children,” DeShazo said. “Call me names all you want, but children don’t need to experience this and hear this.”
