Pride Month Events Continue; So Do Protests

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

Drag show at Bay Breeze Cafe today.


KFFF protest.

 

PRIVATE DRAG QUEEN SHOW

The controversial drag queen show at the Bay Breeze Cafe in downtown Fairhope went on as scheduled today; but so did a protest across the street. 

Tickets were required to get in to the private event put on by the Prism United organization which promotes diversity in the city; the protesters from the new "Keep Fairhope Family Friendly" group  were mostly on the public sidewalk, on the other side of Fairhope Avenue.

By our count, this is the third year the show has been held at a restaurant in downtown; but the first year for protesters.

There was no interaction between groups when we were there; heavy security was present for today's event too. 

 

KFFF Sunday.

No, it's not a "controversial drag show." It's a private event. The made up controversy is because a tiny group of folks believe that they should inject themselves into everyone's business. Giving those folks attention only feeds them. Please stop.

Hey sexual dysfunctional's, you've captured the government, military, pop culture, media, hollywood, academia, businesses, etc, etc. You are not victims, stop playing that card. Just. Stop. It. The victims are now the people that disagree with you.

Ya'll need to be more discrete about your pride thing. Less in your face about it. Just sayin' ...

Pride is a celebration, it has nothing to do with "playing the victim." And no one who encounters a Pride event is a victim because of it. Let's maybe try to at least get terminology correct. And Pride should be discrete? Really? The whole point is to be visible. So, no. We won't be discrete. Personally, I'm hoping for a more frequent event locally now. Perhaps drag brunches monthly. And you're all invited to come see just how much fun you're missing!

"why can't everbody just get along?"

Because a growing mob of enraged people are not content to live and let live in the freest society on Earth. Instead, they demand that everyone else observe and applaud their sexuality, that parents surrender their children to them, and that the faithful forsake their religion for them. When we refuse, we are accused of being disagreeable (and bigots, Nazis, etc.). So be it.

Well I think disagreeable hit the nail on the head.
