Derek Brunson says he has “no problem with gay people,” but the UFC middleweight did have a problem with children attending a drag show at a gay nightclub over the weekend.
The event, held at Mr. Misster in Dallas, was promoted as “Drag The Kids To Pride” and was meant as a celebration of people being themselves to kick off Pride Month. The nightclub encouraged parents to bring their kids for a drag show Saturday morning.
Video online showed drag queens taking dollar bills from kids’ hands while dancing on a makeshift runway beneath a pink neon sign that read “IT’S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF.” Kids also danced alongside drag queens while their parents looked on.
