The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on April 20, 2023, where concerned citizens spoke out against Drag Queen Cabarets targeting children that were occurring in the district. Seeking political influence and assistance for their concerns, the board reached out to Veterans for America First.
VFAF’s Jared Craig, Esq., worked with Alfred John, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, about the tone of the issue. Craig addressed the large crowd as covered by the press see: https://prlog.org/12961225-jared-craig-president-of-ga-veterans-for-trump-attends-meeting-to-ban-drag-queen-shows-for-children.html
VFAF’s efforts working with Forsyth County resulted in the show closing. A closing by choice, not petitioned for, or pressured by VFAF.
The meeting with legislatures followed national press coverage picked up by the Wire Friday, 10 March titled “Veterans for America First Ask Georgia Legislatures to Consider Restricting Drag Shows” link: https://accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/government/veterans-for-america-first-ask-georgia-legislatures-to-consider-restricting-drag-shows-743254
The release read in part “On April 23, the Forsyth County Georgia Senior Citizen Center in Cumming, GA, is hosting an all-ages family bingo run by drag queen Mrs. Ivana. The flyer for the event states “Join our kids dance contest”.”
VFAF Ambassador Cooper Guyon, who works at the state capital with GA Senator Jason R. Anavitarte, suggested exploring the possibility of legislation like Tennessee. Guyon has arranged a meeting with the Senator and the Vets organization to address the concerns of the citizens and community leaders who asked the Veterans group to get involved. “Senator Anavitarte has been a leader fighting for our conservative values,” said Cooper Guyon.
“Our organization is not looking to prevent lawful gatherings; we are simply asking our state legislatures to look at the law Tennessee passed and consider similar for Georgia to further protect the children,” said VFAF President Stan Fitzgerald March 10, 2023.
While the state legislatures did not propose any new legislation, the show independently chose to relocate on its own, without any petition, request, or pressure from VFAF.
