Dozens of protesters gathered outside Old Town Hall in Fairfax, Virginia, to protest the city’s pride celebration, where drag queens are scheduled to dance.
The event was coordinated by Stacy Langton, the Virginia mother who went viral in 2021 for speaking against phonographic books in front of the Fairfax County school board. Many of the protesters carried either U.S. flags or signs speaking out against drag queens and transgender surgeries for minors.“When you have a situation like this, when they’re doing things with children that are not appropriate for children, this is not a minors event," Langton told the Washington Examiner.
Langton appeared in several ads for Gov. Glenn Youngkin during the 2021 gubernatorial election, which Youngkin won against former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe in an upset victory. Only one year earlier, the state of Virginia went blue during the 2021 presidential election. Fairfax Mayor Catherine Read, who was attending the event, told the Washington Examiner that the city is paying for the event. Other sponsors of the event include George Mason University and Fairfax Ace Hardware.
