The gun club describes itself on Twitter as “helping marginalized communities organize community defense against white supremacists/fascism,” the paper said, adding that Protect Texas Kids’ Twitter account says its purpose is to “expose drag shows for children, children. transitions and leftist indoctrination in the state of Texas.”
The Dallas Express said a Fort Brewery & Pizza representative described the drag show as “family friendly.”
Aaron Hoernke, the restaurant’s director of marketing, said that “accompanied minors are allowed with a parent as we believe in parental choice” and that “we are a brewery that sells pizza, wine, beer and no spirits. The vibe is that it was designed to be enjoyed by everyone,” the outlet added.
The Dallas Express added that a description of the drag show on Fort Brewery & Pizza’s website does not specifically mention children or use the phrase “family-friendly,” but does say, “This event perfect for celebrating a special occasion with friends, family or work colleagues, or simply enjoying a fun-filled day with your loved ones.” Here’s a look at the show announcement on Eventbrite.
The gun club on Twitter has accused police of “attacking drag defenders” and practicing poor muzzle discipline with long rifles by pointing loaded weapons at club members, the Star-Telegram also reported.
