He utilized photo boards. One featured Jennifer Coolidge as Tanya in The White Lotus uttering her immortal line: “These gays, they’re trying to kill me”.
Another photo was from an old video showing Donald Trump alongside Rudy Giuliani in drag.“My Republican colleagues want us to believe that gays are trying to murder us,” Garcia said gesturing toward the photo of Coolidge.“They want to believe that drag is harmful or immoral or wrong.
This is completely ridiculous.”“Now, I hate to break it to my Republican colleagues, but LGBTQ people have fought and died for this country since the American Revolution, even if they were forced to hide their true selves.“The USO and Red Cross hosted drag shows during World War II — the army that defeated Hitler and saved the world included drag queens,” Garcia continued.Republicans are obsessed with attacking gay people and banning Drag Shows, but won’t ban Marjorie Taylor Greene showing porn in committee hearings.
