RuPaul has called out attempts by Republican lawmakers to bring in laws to ban drag queens around children as a “diversion tactic”.

The host of RuPaul’s Drag Race made the comments while speaking with host James Corden on The Late Late Show. RuPaul was asked about Republican Bryan Slaton proposing a law to ban drag shows in the presence of minors in Texas. “This is a diversion tactic to take the narrative away from the gun debate into something, to scare people into thinking about something else, and they’ve been successful,” said RuPaul.

The Drag Race host referenced the recent national debate on gun control regulation in the wake of the shooting of children and teachers in a school in Uvalde, Texas. “They have changed the narrative away from the gun debate into this drag queen thing.”  A post shared by RuPaul’s Drag Race (@rupaulsdragrace)While conservative groups have targeted drag queens before, in recent months these attacks have become more mainstream.

Last week, the extreme right-wing fascist group Proud Boys crashed a drag queen story hour event at a library in San Larenzo, California.
