Students at Tucson High School hosted a drag show Saturday night on campus, drawing support and opposition.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Students at Tucson High School hosted on a drag show Saturday night on campus, drawing support and opposition.A group of community members who believe minors and schools should not be affiliated with drag shows also came to campus.
“I have love and compassion for these kids, and my whole thing is I wanna protect them,” said Kimberly McAllister, one member of that group. “It’s OK to tell kids ‘No. This is not appropriate for you to do a show like this on school grounds, taxpayer money. It’s not the time, it’s not the place. It’s not OK.’ It’s not OK for minors to be involved.”“I think it’s a good way for the kids to come out and express themselves, you know, and just kinda be comfortable in who they are,” he said.
The group who disagrees with the show tried to attend, but was turned away by security. Some members said they felt they were discriminated against. Security personnel told KGUN that because the show was a “private event,” security had discretion over who was allowed to attend.
