'While the drag community wants its right to freedom of expression, parents also want their right to choose how or when they discuss adult behaviors and sexuality with their children.' JennaBreeTV

“To go to a drag show, to feel community, I cried," said one citizen."It felt so nice to feel like I belong somewhere. I want you guys to support us in belonging. I want to be here, and I want to be queer, and I want to belong and be safe and be loved.”

In May, the HBO show"We’re Here" filmed an episode in St. George, which ended with a drag show at Town Square. "HBO, a for-profit company, used a children's park to film their event," said one concerned citizen."Not only that, but the 45-day period for a permit was waived for them by the city.” St. George is paying the outgoing city manager Adam Lenhard $625,000, according to a confidential settlement agreement, obtained by the Salt Lake Tribune. Lenhard, who approved the permits for HBO to film, resigned over the controversy."While the drag community wants its right to freedom of expression, parents also want their right to choose how or when they discuss it all behaviors and sexuality with their children," said another concerned citizen.

Those who attended said the drag show happened at 9 p.m., but even so, there was nothing at the show that was inappropriate for children.
