Shocking footage of ‘family friendly’ drag queen show sees performer spreading their legs and thrusting their breasts in front of children who are encouraged to leave tips

• A drag queen appeared to be performing at a ‘family friendly’ event
• Young kids were present as the sexually suggestive moves were made
• The drag queen spread their legs and thrust their breasts forward
• A young boy could be seen handing a trip towards another cast member
• Footage posted by infamous Libs of TikTok account sparked outrage online

Shocking footage has emerged on Twitter of a so-called ‘family friendly’ drag queen show in which one of the performers can be seen spreading their legs in front of an audience that includes young children.

‘This is what a ‘family friendly’ drag show looks like. Drag queens spreading their legs for little kids to tip them,’ stated the infamous Libs of TikTok Twitter account.

Although the time and location are yet to be identified, the event appears to have been sponsored by IPIC Movie Theaters which operates a number of locations across the northeastern US, Florida and California.

In the short clip, a scantily clad drag queen performs a forward role along a catwalk before then suggestively spreading their legs wide in a skimpy leotard.

The performer then thrusts their breast forward, all-the-while a young boy is merely feet away and appears to hand a tip over to another cast member.  

Earlier this year, the person behind the Libs of TikTok Facebook account – previously doxxed as Brooklyn real estate agent Chaya Raichik, was suspended from the social media platform permanently.

The anti-woke Twitter account Libs of TikTok has long shared their growing concern about children being brought to sexualized shows in the name of diversity. 

This latest clip generated a visceral response online.

‘As a gay man, I disavow this entirely. This is thoroughly inappropriate and needs to stop,’ wrote Joseph Jones.

‘I don’t know how these ‘family friendly’ drag shows became so common, so fast. I feel like just a year ago this wasn’t a thing,’ said Joseph Steimle.

‘I just DO NOT understand the parents who willingly expose their kids to this crap. Nah, I don’t WANT to understand,’ said one.

‘This is super weird. These parents should be investigated,’ added another.  

The latest clip of a drag queen performing for children generated a visceral response online

The video from September 2021, posted by the infamous @LibsofTikTok account nearly nine months later, shows the performer then running off, taking a few more tips and letting it all hang out

Similar instances have been recorded in the past including in September 2021 when a young girl was filmed tipping a drag queen baring a huge set of synthetic breasts during a ‘family-friendly’ event at a Michigan gay venue. 

The child, whose age was not disclosed, passed a bill to RuPaul’s Drag Race star Yara Sofia at Hamburger Mary’s in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the clip.

She was sat on the knee of an adult woman at the time, who smiled warmly as the youngster tipped the performer, whose real name is Gabriel Burgos Ortiz.

Sofia strutted around the bar wearing a pair of large fake breasts that hung outside her costumes, complete with tiny yellow pasties covering the nipples in what appeared to be an arch attempt at modesty. 

The Grand Rapids outlet of Hamburger Mary’s closed in January of this year, but its Facebook page is still active, complete with scores of fliers for events.

Many of them are explicitly advertised as being for audiences aged 18+ only.

But the flyer for the drag event attended by Yara Sofia was not, suggesting that it may indeed have also been marketed as a ‘family-friendly’ event.

The videos of youngsters interacting with the drag queens comes as debates rage across the country about whether young children are being exposed to content that is inappropriate by well-meaning family members and educators in the name of support for LGBT equality.

New York City has been spending heavily on sending drag queens into its public elementary schools, dropping more than $200,000 on appearances since 2018. 

In May, records show the city paying $46,000 to send Drag Story Hour NYC to public schools, libraries, and street festivals, according to the New York Post.

Some parents say the programs were booked without their consent, while city officials have responded with outrage, according to the Post.

Drag Queen story-hours have also hit the headlines. They see performers read story books to children at events held in schools or libraries.

The books read to kids are children’s story books, usually by drag queens in less-revealing outfits. 

Supporters say the events are harmless and innocent, but conservatives claim the story hours often veer into age-inappropriate vulgarity.

Drag Queen Story Hour, a nonprofit, was started in San Francisco in 2015 by activist and author Michelle Tea. Chapters have since opened across the U.S. and elsewhere. Other organizations with readers in drag have also formed.

As part of Drag Queen Story Hour’s programming, drag queens read to children and their parents at libraries, bookstores, fairs, parks and other public spaces to celebrate reading ‘through the glamorous art of drag.’

In 2021, there were 67 in-person appearances and 141 with almost 1,000 school children exposed. In 2022 alone, Drag Story Hour NYC has made 49 appearances at 34 public schools in New York City, according to its website. 

The organization characterizes itself as promoting inclusivity, creativity, and acceptance of the self in children, by exposing them to drag queens reading similarly thematic books.

‘Through fun and fabulous educational experiences, our programs celebrate gender diversity and all forms of difference to build empathy and give kids the confidence to express themselves however they feel comfortable,’ the website reads.

Images from the site show people dressed in bedazzled dresses, shimmering wigs, and heavy eye shadow, reading to young children in classroom, and even helping the kids apply makeup themselves. 

The company has received  $207,000 from taxpayers since 2018, records show. $50,000 of that has come from the New York State Council on the Arts, and the other $157,000 from the NYC Department of Education, the Department of Youth and Community Development, the Department of Transportation, and Cultural Affairs.

The funds were provided by city council members, with $80,000 being allocated for drag programs in 2022 alone – over three times as much as was provided in 2020 for drag programs.
