Thank you for highlighting. The public needs to respond.
Why do grown men dressed in drag feel the need or desire to dance and sexually strut around in front of children?!? My father or brothers would have never done anything so perverted.
I know children are naturally curious so we can not hold them accountable for the deplorable behavior of adults.
So sad that society and parents(used lightly) allow demented garbage like this to take place, Nothing but child abuse.
The first thing to do is not do business with any of the sponsors. If enough patrons object to supporting this kind of thing, by next year there’ll be some new businesses in their place. Yes, contact the local law enforcement authorities and Mayor Jacobs. Contacting your legislators will probably be a waste of time and effort as some of them act more Democrat than the Democrats. I’m in favor of throwing them all out and starting over again.
