When a trans man speaks, the video cuts to Tanner with a sour look on her face. “You are the reason I am scared for my future,” the man says. Several supporters of the drag show say it’s about making people feel safe and supported.
It’s overshadowed by the political drama, but it would do St. George citizens and their leaders good to watch “We’re Here” and pay attention to all the members of their LGBTQ+ community who don’t feel safe living there. Micah also shares a terrifying story of when, feeling more comfortable using a women’s restroom in a local restaurant last year, he was “almost dragged out” by a “whole bunch of men” who came after him and pounded on the stall door. And, he says, protesters and the police show up at every Pride of Southern Utah event.Gaby, a young bisexual woman, recalls when the local school board nixed a performance of “Rent” because it was “too gay.
“We’re Here” shows Micah, Gaby and Toni awkwardly and hesitantly preparing for the show, but then they get excited about the clothes, makeup, hair — and they feel empowered. It’s not something everyone can identify with, but that doesn’t make it any less true for them.The drag show itself is pretty fabulous — the costumes and makeup are amazing. And there’s nothing sexual about it. If there was anything in there designed to “recruit” anyone to be gay, I couldn’t find it.
Dirty dirty dogs. Spreading their filthy LGBTQWTH religion and diseases. Rise up good people.
Ya wanna know why it is ya can't turn straight people gay? Cos conversation therapy can't turn gay people straight!
These are drag Queens not Mormon Bishops… you can trust your kids with the Queens.
Sandboy1 What she mean “convert”?
You ARE doing missions. To little kids.
When are they going to the Middle East, China, India, Malaysia, Philippines and Russia?
SpiderQueer A gay person living a happy, fulfilling life is an affront only to those that have been told it will lead to punishment from God. When that doesn't happen, they think it's their obligation to step in. Weird little faith in a Supreme being you have there folks.
Wait wait wait we look bad because we don't want degenerate dudes coming and waving their parts around for children to see in a community park. Ok I'll take that hit for the children. Go Utah! so proud of you St George way to keep your morals in these trying times.
“You can’t convert anyone to gay.” 🤪
Fat and gay. Double wammie freak. Grooming on the rise.
Ew moment
No one who supports drag shows knows what is or is not a “good look”
Opened HBO Max.....thanks, I haven't puked in awhile
Is he going for insect? He kinda looks like an insect.
No we just try to protect our children from being exposed to pure deviance. There is no need for kids to see certain things like this grotesque figure. When they are older they choose for themselves.
Sooo how much money has this one made you , since you’ve shared it multiple times? Every LDS person I know, including myself, do not care. Most drag is art comparable to Kabuki. What we have a problem with is sexualizing children and that blame is with the parents.
These people are messed up
Jesus!! Some of you are freaking ridiculous!! Let them be who they want to be! Most have talent and I'm guessing you don't! They're not hurting you! They are humans! The same blood runs through them that runs through you! The way the Mormons treat others makes me sick!!
You traveled to a city you're not from to spread your drag ideology. How is that not a 'mission'?
Why do they molest children to convert them gay then?
How about another made up story about how dangerous St George is. That was good for much merriment. Only guy who tried to attack me in Utah was an “unhomed” person on SLC.
SLT leaps to the defense of Utah’s four drag queens!
RFHKerry Louder for the folks in the back!
That costume and makeup is unreal. Very over-the-top kitsch. Drag queens are just entertainers, nothing more or less. You can say it isn't entertaining to you, but to call them 'groomers'? That's just slanderous.
I would have thought that a decade ago. But with 25% of Zoomers in some cases, on the LGBT spectrum, I disagree. It think there is a large cultural element that is not biological.
If you’re worried about someone “converting” you to being gay, I’ve got news for you… You’re gay.
spiders web
They should do Iran next
🤭
Have the been to Dearborn Michigan yet?
I was forced to wear a thin robe over my naked body in the Mormon temple while oil was rubbed on me or I wouldn't be with my family for eternity. Yet, people outraged by drag queens and think they are the groomers.
I love watching liberals try to make drag shows look normal.
amERICanMoutsos those of us in St. George need to tell to kiss our asses. The cancel culture changing the name at Dixie University makes St. George look bad...... St. George should be proud of Michelle standing up for morality. / STGnews 925KDXU RodArquette
I hope St. George keeps this trashy group out. I visited St George 1-2 times every year.
I disagree. It makes St George LOOK FABULOUS.
Wow I’m surprised they didn’t like it 😂
So, the slt is pro abuse of children then? That is your stance? Not allowing children to be used for the sexual indulgence of adults does not, in fact, make St. George 'look bad'. It makes them look sane, responsible, and like they actually care about the well being of children.
Wait, you're saying that HBO sent a drag show into a small, conservative, religious community with the intent to shock and offend them...AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED?!!! Hold the presses, let's get this story on Page 1!
Michelle Tanner needs help if this is what undoes her. Wow.
What a BUNCH of MORMON BIGOTS!!! Hypocrites EnjoyHELL 🔥🖕🏽🔥
She's lovely. Good for them. Shame on St. George
Perfectly normal.
What looks bad is deliberately going out of your way to stir up controversy in a city you don't live in. Most people don't mind you doing your drag thing all we ask is you stop pushing it on kids and people that don't want it but you can't respect that
Honestly, who cares?
Show trolling for negative reactions from conservative religious towns got what they were looking for. Teeny number of drag queen obsessed liberals are over joyed.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
😂😂😂😂 🤡🎪
I always knew Ursula was a drag freak.
Who's the whale?
False, St. George made themselves look bad by showing the world the bigots they are
The problem is with deplorable people of St. George and their bigotry. Not with the show. Scott Pierce can just sit this one out.
What other acting performances trigger these protesters? They can't be ok with 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,' right?
The population of St. George finds lots of ways to highlight their true colors. I was down there during a MAGAt rally a few years ago. Not surprised at all by those people. FakeChristians
Not a fan of the whole drag obsession right now, but that dress is artwork
Looks like it went down by the LDS temple. Guess that gives Mormons a reason to show up at their drag show and 'stir things up'.
The LDS False Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. was a proud Pedophile.
Bravo to the Drag Queens. Boo-hiss to Michelle Tanner. {Chuckles at the irony} This largely LDS community fears drag shows while ignoring the sexual assault & sex trafficking scandals rocking the church.🙄A tr*mp hate rally would be roundly supported, tho.
Disgusting vile creatures.
