“Drag queens make everything better,” says Michigan’s Attorney General.
Attorney General Dana Nessel is Michigan’s first openly lesbian woman elected to statewide office. At a conference on Wednesday in Lansing, she spoke out against the efforts created to divide Americans, according to Craig Mauger of The Detroit News.
Nessel says that there should be “a drag queen for every school.” Her comments come after the heated topic of allowing and encouraging drag shows at events marketed towards kids.
New York City gave over $200,000 in taxpayer dollars to a nonprofit organization called Drag Story Hour NYC to fund programs involving drag queens who came into the classroom to perform various activities such as reading, coloring, and discussing the importance of self-acceptance.
The cross-dressed drag performers were also seen instructing children on how to apply heavy makeup, wigs, and sparkly dresses. Parents who have children at schools that hosted such events say that they occurred without their parents’ permission or consent. New York’s Department of Education claims that these programs were to promote inclusivity and prevent violent acts against the transgender community.
Many parents nationwide feel that these “programs” being pushed upon their children in the name of “protecting the LGBTQ community” are overstepping the purpose of education and pushing ideologies that do not resonate with their values.
Twenty percent of Gen Z adults classify themselves as part of the LGBTQ community, according to a recent Gallup poll. The percentage of Gen Z adults who identify as LGBTQ has increased from 10.5% in 2017 to 20.8% in 2021.
