Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp turned a blind eye as the Chattanooga Pride parade took place on Sunday morning, finishing out their Pride Week events.
This year’s event took place inside the Chattanooga Convention center. Organizers moved the event indoors after last year’s festivities sparked outrage when viral videos showed that it was publicly accessible to children.
Mayor Weston Wamp had only recently been elected as mayor of Hamilton County when he commented on the event.
“Have a drag show if that’s really what you want to do, but don’t invite children in,” said Wamp after last year’s parade. “I think that’s inappropriate and it clearly made a ton of people in this community extremely uncomfortable.”
Governor Bill Lee later signed a law that prohibited drag shows from allowing minors to be in attendance.
Two Tennessee counties have seen judges issue injunctions against the law, alleging that it is unconstitutional. However, Hamilton County is not one of those counties, therefore the law is still in effect and enforceable.
Chattanooga Pride board member Arnold Ruelas said, “We were really just working with what the universe was handing us this year.”
Ruelas says the group is hoping to move the event back outdoors next year where attendees “can celebrate freely and be proud.”
District Attorney Wamp made it clear that she has no plans to give attention to protecting children from such events, issuing the following statement:
“With all the violence that has occurred in our community in the last three weeks (including a multitude of shootings and homicides), my office is not concerned about the Chattanooga Pride Festival. Because the constitutionality of the legislation is currently being challenged, and pursuant to the opinion of the Tennessee General’s Office, the statute is not currently being enforced in Hamilton County. Again, the community should know that their District Attorney is working hard to address the violent crime that plagues our city and the unacceptable number of overdoses across the county each month.”
So now we know that Coty Wamp is a pedophile. Roger that.
That has become rather clear.
Males who masquerade as women are misogynists or mentally ill or both. Their behavior is disgusting and should not be tolerated in public.
Regardless of any new laws, the fact is, that any portrayal of sexual acts in the presence of minors is illegal. Not only should the actors be arrested, the parents should be arrested and charged if they take their child to such an event.
Another RINO just like her dad
In other words, Zach Wamp’s clients A) don’t care about, (B) actively support, (C) hope to profit from the issue of sexploitation of minors, or, (D) all of the above. Thus, the little Wampling’s don’t bother enforcing the law. Also good to know the Hamilton County DA can only focus on one problem at a time. That knowledge will come in handy during next primary season. In East Tennessee, Swamp is spelled without the S.
Wamp & Wamp….two liberal family members that are really tough on crime and moral decay.
In the past I have suggested to many people that Chattanooga was a great place to vacation. Now I tell them to stay away.
When did the “constitutional” conservatives loose there balls? I thought they would fight for anyone under free speech? Evidently now its only if they agree with their beliefs not with with the first amendment. I know its hard supporting things you dont like but that is how the constitution works.. you guys are snowflakes,
There is no provision in the US or TN Constitutions that allows for the sexual exploitation of minors.
If the Govt won’t stop this madness, the people will. But it’s going to stop one way or another.
We will resort to extremes to protect our children.

Looks like the DA is now a PIMP willing to pimp off children with the OK from some mom and pops?
Perhaps some criminal charges against the DA dear parents?
Special rights to any one group of people are a direct violation of the US Constitution.
