Texas town strips funding for monthly art event over drag show.
The arts center that organizes the monthly art walk, which draws 20,000 to downtown Lubbock, said the drag show happened at an off-site location and had no association with it.
Congratulations, republicans, you're killing your own small towns by being insufferable and refusing to allow any culture to exist then you wonder why your kids refuse to move back to the area...
Oh they want culture to exist, but it's a monoculture and it's their own. Of course we all know what happens to monocultures. Or at least anybody knows anything about farming does.
Of course we all know what happens to monocultures.
Inbreeding?
Council member Christy Martinez-Garcia, who represents the north side of Lubbock where the art walk takes place, looked puzzled when the discussion started. She later said she was blindsided by it.
“I don’t think anybody was prepared for this,” Martinez-Garcia told The Texas Tribune. “More people attend First Friday than vote.”
Martinez-Garcia described the trail as a hugely successful event that attracts about 20,000 people monthly. She said it’s in the city’s best interest to be inclusive.
“We need to make it open for anybody and everybody, I’m straight but I don’t hate,” Martinez-Garcia told her fellow council members. “I appreciate your input, but it’s so important that we don’t pick who we are representing.”

Ah yes freedom
There's nothing that protects your right to violate your genetic dress code in the US Constitution. In fact, the government has a duty to protect children from WrongDress, because of the pedophiles.
I laughed. Apparently at least 9 people got mad though?
Luddites in Lubbock.
The Luddites had a point about the 'de-skilling' of work and the alienation of labor. And they regularly cross-dressed.
These people are just obsessed with enforcing misery.
General Ludd is my hero:
The Luddites weren't wrong. Their name has been badly misused. They were skilled professionals who were concerned that they would no longer have work as a result of the industrial revolution. They were largely right in that assessment. That doesn't mean you should try to hold up societal/technological progress like they did, but their concerns were valid. They weren't just afraid of technology as they are generally portrayed.
I love the rainbow made from shirts in the crowd
