Hamburger Mary's supporters played ABBA songs to drown out neo-Nazi protestors [View all]
About a dozen demonstrators led by Protect Texas Kids founder Kelly Neidert gathered across the street from the restaurant to protest its Sunday Drag Brunch shows. The small crowd included at least one man wearing a Nazi symbol and members of anti-LGBTQ hate groups.
The pro-LGBTQ protesters, reportedly organized by the Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee, held up signs that read “Pro-LGBT+ Anti-Fascist” and “Bigots Go Home,” while blasting pop songs to drown out the group’s hateful rhetoric.
“I don’t think parents should be allowed to take their kids to these events, and I think that there should be a law banning it from happening,” Neidert told the Houston Chronicle, echoing recent anti-LGBTQ misinformation that has proliferated on right-wing social media and has been adopted by mainstream Republican lawmakers.
“My biggest thing is when they start pushing their indoctrination or agenda toward kids,” Nidert told Houston’s KPRC 2. “When they are adult and doing adult things, whatever, but when they are having these highly inappropriate sexual provocative shows and they are allowing children inside and parents encouraging their kids to hand the performers money, that’s where I and most conservatives have a problem.”
