Oregon State University welcomed children to a drag show that involved nudity- with one performer baring her breasts and using them to lift weights.
The performance, which was branded the ‘Illegal Drag Show’, was held at the LaSells Stewart Center on the University campus in Oregon, Washington, last Friday.
It had been set up by LGBTQ+ group Rainbow Continuum and a poster for the event openly encouraged attendees to ‘Be Gay. Do Crime‘ – while also advertising it to all ages.
In footage captured at the show and first reported by Campus Reform, a biological woman can be seen undressing and exposing her breasts to the audience.
One woman in the audience can be heard saying: ‘Cover your eyes’ as the performer begins undressing on the stage, while another says: ‘Are you fricking kidding me? Oh my god.’
The unknown performer then starts hanging five lb. weights from her breasts and receives a large round of applause from the audience.
After retrieving a barbell weight from behind the curtain, the performer then proceeds to hang that from her breasts.
In another video, a young child has been brought on the stage by one of the drag queens and interviewed.
Responding to an unintelligible question by the drag queen, the child responds: ‘He’s a full grown man.’
Rebecca Lang, Students for Life President at Oregon State, told Campus Reform: ‘The show consisted of extremely explicit sexual content including sexually provocative performances by men and women in drag and costumes.’
Lang also said that at least two children she spotted in the audience were so small they had to be seated on the laps of adults.
She added: ‘[They] were subjected to not only references but physical moves and sexually explicit dances by both biological men and women, and extreme nudity as well.’
In a promotion for the event, Rainbow Continuum said: ‘Queer people across the nation are under legislative attack, but we will NOT let them stop our partying!
‘The show will be June 2nd, 7pm at LaSells. We’ve got a great lineup of local queer talent sure to raise the roof just in time for it to get replaced.’
It comes after the state of Montana announced it would ban people dressed in drag from reading to kids at public schools and libraries.
Governor Greg Gianforte signed the bill because he ‘believes it’s wildly inappropriate for little kids, especially preschoolers and kids in elementary school, to be exposed to sexualized content.’
The bill initially sought to ban minors from attending drag performances, which were defined as shows that ‘excited lustful thoughts.’
The legislation was later amended to ban minors from attending sexually oriented or obscene performances on public property.
The law received intense public testimony at an earlier committee hearing in February.
