On Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), lamented what he claims is a “rights regression” being imposed by Republicans on the LGBTQ+ community and drag shows.
“I don’t think people fully understand the rights regression…on just the assault on the African American community, the assault on the Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Trans community,” Newsom told independent journalist Ed Krassenstein. “The number one issue of the day seems to be getting rid of the word ‘Latinx’ in Arkansas and number two getting rid of drag shows. It’s a serious moment.”
