\u201cIf you watch Drag Race, Pose, Legendary, Dragula, etc. you need to make your choice heard. These anti trans/ anti drag bills are actually starting to make their way through, and after that have taken down trans and nonbinary people. . . GAY BOYZ, YOU'RE NEXT!! Trust and believe.\u201d

\u201cU know that energy we use every Friday to be vocal about our opinions on runway looks, challenge winners, lipsynch losers? THAT ENERGY is NEEDED NOW to protect our queer people & spaces! What\u2019s happening in Tennessee is just a stepping stone in a much larger, much scarier picture\u201d

\u201cMy god the media is filled with nothing but despair inducing news for the trans and drag community. Does anything good ever happen to us anymore??? We\u2019ve become blatant martyrs to their political deflection and yet why does it feel like we can\u2019t do anything about it?\u201d

\u201cWtf? I\u2019m calling for everyone out there to condemn this hateful rhetoric! This is killing my community! If you call yourself an ally then you can\u2019t let this stand! Why is there so much hate in the world? Micheal Knowles\u2026 you are a sad sad man with evil in your heart.\u201d

\u201cY\u2019all- now is absolutely the time to stand up and make moves. Between Tennessee and legislators using words like \u201ceradicate\u201d against trans people it\u2019s time to drop the internal petty judgement and fighting and suit up for the bigger enemy rn.\u201d

\u201cIf you\u2019re an LGBTQIA+ ally, now is the time speak up -not after queer and trans people are criminalized in all 50 states. If you\u2019re upset about the Tennessee anti-drag law, be even more upset that nine other states have similar laws moving through state legislatures including: \ud83e\uddf5\u201d

\u201cI know y\u2019all want every celeb/company you know to speak out against what is happening in Tennessee but their gov is not gonna care, because those companies are not based in TN. Let\u2019s get specific: @FedEx YOU ARE ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMPANIES BASED IN TENNESSEE WHY ARE YOU SILENT?!\u201d

They won\u2019t and could never, but its definitely past time to speak up. Please help us safely progress and thrive without fear.\u201d

\u201c. @GovBillLee around children is more dangerous than any drag queen could ever be\u201d

\u201cBeing an \u201cally\u201d means more than coming to the show & tipping a few bucks (which is always appreciated!), it also means standing beside us in the fight for our survival. If you celebrate in our spaces, please help us to keep them safe! Get involved! Vote the bigots out!\u201d

\u201cWe need more people to speak up and speak out. Let them @GovBillLee know that you supported the art of drag performing.\u201d

\u201cY\u2019all don\u2019t care about this kid. Your using kids to hide behind these anti-queer bills and drag bands.\u201d

\u201cHello allies and guest judges or anyone who got a check for contributing to @RuPaulsDragRace. Would love for you to speak up for our queer community now plz \ud83d\udc95\u201d

\u201cWhere are the companies who pander for queer money at Pride, the allies who love to come dance in our bars & who want us to do your hair at our salons? The singers/actors who want us to dress you for award shows now that the anti drag/trans law has passed in Tennessee? \n\nSPEAK UP\u201d

— Mark MacKillop (@Mark MacKillop) 1677885876

\u201cAs parts of the US bring in a drag ban and far right commentators call for an "erraddication of transgenderism from public life" ...I wondered where all those flag waving allies went, are they busy, unaware or were they only there for the street party\u201d
