An upcoming drag event at the Porter County Expo Center that was initially advertised as free to children 12 and under saw several protesters at Tuesday’s Porter County Board of Commissioners meeting. Through their attorney the board has asked for the wording regarding children to be removed and the event organizer Rogue Syndicate has complied.
The event, billed as “Halfway to Halloween Market and Drag Show,” is scheduled for 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday, May 20. In an email Rogue Syndicate described the event as a 70-plus vendor market with a one-hour PG-rated drag show at 7 p.m. The organizer has used the same format at the Expo Center since 2019.
Miller addressed Commissioner Laura Blaney, D-South, pointing out that she has children and asking how she felt about the event. “I haven’t taken my children to a drag show, but if I wanted to and I was told I couldn’t I would be upset,” Blaney said. “I was a little sad people were upset,” he said, wishing people had picked up the phone to inquire. “I would have said, ‘No, we’re good guys.’”
Suzan Thiry asked the board to watch some drag shows to inform themselves of what goes on when children are present. “They come up to children and they shake,” she said of shows she had seen online, though she did not clarify who produced them.
