Protesters gather at the Arizona state Capitol Lawn in response to anti-drag show bills
Attendees held speeches, marched around the perimeter of the Capitol, and chanted"Arizona loves drag." "When they see drag queens gaining fame and notoriety across the world, what they see is an opportunity to send us a message with this legislation," said drag performer Astrud Aurelia."To tell us that they don't support us, they hate us, to tell us that they don't want us to exist."Last year, several legislative proposals targeting the LGBTQ community became law.
