A mom in Canada has gone “undercover” at a family-friendly drag brunch to reveal the true horror of what goes on.
TheCuratedLobe is the official TikTok account for an ear piercing studio in Oakville, Ontario. The woman that runs it usually posts videos about… well, ear piercings and jewelery. However, a video she posted yesterday showed what happened when she took her two young daughters to a drag event.
“We saw the controversy surrounding children and drag queens these days. I thought I would go undercover and take our girls to a drag show and see what kind of horrible trauma they endure,” she begins, preparing viewers for what lies ahead.
The mom dressed up so she could pass “incognito”, wearing various sparkling accessories in her ears.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The video is a heartwarming reminder that the kids are alright—it’s their parents we need to be worried about.
Upon arrival at the restaurant (vegan establishment ‘Community’ on Kerr Street, Oakville), the girls had makeup applied to fit in with the proceedings. The family took their seats and mom said she had to have a drink to steel her nerves for what was to come.
Then, “The first queen came out and how dare she look like that,” says the mom, suggesting her look was not great. The queen actually looked amazing.
Her daughters give tips to the drag queens, “as obviously we had to immerse them in the whole experience so we could document the trauma afterwards.”
Astute viewers would have realized by now the video is meant as satire.
The mom’s daughters were then singled out for some special attention. Drag queens stuck sparkles on their faces. The girls then took part in a dance competition to “Baby Shark”, which disgusts the mom.
“‘Baby Shark’ is so, like, last year.”
“They danced around but they will never get over this later. They will carry this trauma their entire lives.”
She concluded, “You can tell they hated it, so we’ll try church next Sunday instead.”
Her kids looked like they had an amazingly fun time.
The video quickly went viral when reposted to Twitter.

It’s had hundreds of thousands of likes on TikTok and many comments of praise.
“Yes mama, raise them with love in their hearts and sparkles on their face! Love it,” said one person.
“Wow 😂 they’re just genuinely good people. Shook!”, said another.
I think most missed the sarcasm, and nodded along.

I cannot tell you the emotional journey I went through… Seeing the title, watching the end w/o sound, then watching the whole thing.. Bravo! Funny has been won today 😂
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
When people go to these events they know what they’re getting in to. The Government needs to get out of people’s freedom to choose what they take their children to.
I agree that we should resist the right’s attempt to use this as a way to distract from the real issues. The democrats need to be steeled and practices on how to acknowledge first amendment rights and then quickly pivot and nail them where it hurts. The republicans are masters of this tactic.
It’s interesting that bachy and LumpyPillows, who both have a well documented history of anti-trans and anti-drag animosity are the ones pushing this. Of course, what the power in the Republican Party are pushing for is tax cuts for billionaires and destroying unions but if you think that after demonizing trans people and drag queens is going to stop there and they won’t be coming after our marriages and families you’re truly deluded. We have to fight now because this isn’t where it will stop.

I love it!

I, too, missed that it was satire for way too long. I can honestly see many homophobes sending this out as honest disgust for the drag queens.

I sincerely hope this kind of fringe-entertainment squabbling does not become the defining feature of the Democratic platform for 2024.
We cannot allow serious issues affecting all Americans to be hip-bumped off the stage by sequined, self-applauding, birthday party swishery.

….is what a satire of a yellow-bellied, wobbly-kneed pseudo-liberal would say.

Who is this “we” you’re referring to?
This is an attack on LGBT people and we should address it.

Swishery.

@Lumpy
First they came for the trans people, I did nothing because I was not trans.
Then they came for the drag queens, I did nothing because I’m not a drag queen…
Do I need to finish?
