What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how: Chris' crowdfunder Aeshna's crowdfunder If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

please show up to your local government meetings. they are counting on people now showing up and seeing what they are doing.

Smash the patriarchy.

Sound on for the full impact of this!

btw even though its a small minority of cases i genuinely dont care if parents bring their children to a drag show with suggestive content.

if a parent wants to bring their kid to an r-rated movie knowing theyre gonna have to explain some stuff to them, that’s their business. when i saw deadpool 2 in theaters there was a mom there with two boys who were probably 7 or 8, and that movie is FULL of jokes about sex as well as a brief flash of full-frontal junk. these two things are functionally the same situation and yet i haven’t seen anyone make this comparison. this kind of “save the children” pearl-clutching only happens when queer people are involved.

Texas passing a law that makes it illegal for men to wear make up while performing in public. Which means…no rock concerts, no wrestling, no movies or plays, no male news anchors, no NFL and…no Trump rallies?

Did they think this through?
