Rapid Response Memo: Planned Far-Right Protest to Grand Prairie, TX Drag Event
On Wednesday, December 13, Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme (former contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race) will show their holiday special at Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas at 8 PM. The two drag queens have toured their show for six years now and are well-known in the LGBTQ+ community nationally. The CU Theater hosts this event every year, but this year the show is restricted to those 18 and over because of a new state law. BDI has observed an online call for mobilization by the fascist network known as the New Columbia Movement (NCM), who plan to “pray against” the show that they describe as an “outrageous Christmas drag show.”
