Important to note: This is not unique to churches in Texas, this type of abuse happens in every state in America. This is also not unique to a specific denomination or particularly theology ― this type of abuse happens throughout the Christian Church in America.

So, let's take a look at the first voices to identify the site to report drag shows:

@Lynda555E

.@Lynda555E's article appears to be one of the first mentions of the group and the website. However, the article is behind a paywall, and was never promoted by @RawStory: rawstory.com/raw-investigat…

@SamusMcQueen

.@SamusMcQueen's article for @them, which I cited in my newsletter, was published a few days later, and received significant more engagement, both on Twitter both also on Reddit: them.us/story/drag-ale…

A Texas-based anti-LGBTIQ group created an online tool for reported drag shows, and in response activists flooded the tool with enough reports to apparently crash the site. However, as of this morning, the site is again live:

The antisemitic bromance comedy you didn’t know you didn’t want to see. One still lives with his mom. One is a used car salesman. One loves Hitler. This Christmas, only in theaters.
