“This amendment would prohibit drag shows and drag queen story hours at U.S. military bases and installations. This measure is essential to ensure that our military remains focused on its core mission. President Biden and his Department of Defense have hosted multiple drag show events as the left continues to push a sexual agenda on servicemembers, showing total disregard for our troops who signed up to protect this country, not to be subjected to far-left policies. This agenda doesn't stop at our men and women in uniform. The Biden administration is also targeting young children in an effort to spread its views, its sexual agenda. In 2022, a military base in Virginia hosted a kid-friendly diversity, equity, and inclusion summer festival--and I use air quotes, kid- friendly--featuring ``Harpy Daniels--the Navy Drag Queen,'' where children were encouraged to attend. That same summer, another base scheduled a drag queen story hour for children. Our country depends on a lethal military capable of rising to any occasion, just as the Allied forces did 80 years ago when they stormed the beaches of Normandy. They exemplified patriotism and courage. It seems the Biden administration and its DOD is more focused on promoting drag queens, waving the rainbow flag in a cultural war, preparing them for the cultural battle versus preparing a real fighting force advancing the red, white, and blue on a real battlefield. This is nothing short of an insult to our troops.…”
