Members of the far right activist group San Antonio Family Association, which opposes all forms of birth control, are also here protesting the drag show in San Antonio tonight.

"Forced to take up arms defending trans lives" reads one sign held by a pro-LGBTQ activist outside the drag show tonight in San Antonio. Across the street are armed members of a right wing extremist militia alongside members of the neo-fascist group Patriot Front.

I've been covering these sorts of events for months. It's nice to see members of the national media here tonight, including folks with Vice TV.

Despite the presence of armed protesters outside the drag show in San Antonio tonight, the pro-LGBTQ counter protest has basically become an open air party.

At this point, the pro-LGBTQ counterprotest appears to be five times the size of the anti-LGBTQ protest outside the drag show at the Aztec Theatre in San Antonio, Texas.

One of the anti-LGBTQ protesters outside the drag show here in San Antonio claims that the pro-LGBTQ counterprotesters are paid by "George Soros" and then spreads an antisemitic conspiracy theory that Soros was a Nazi collaborator who turned in Jews during the Holocaust.

San Antonio police showed out in force tonight to keep the two groups separated. There have been no incidents of violence, no scuffles, no arrests, and the drag show went off without a hitch.

This guy with an "Ultra MAGA" hat, who is ostensibly protesting a drag show because it's too sexually explicit for children, is yelling things like "you've got a cock in your mouth" at the counterprotesters who are yelling things like "I fucked your dad" in return.

While filming some of the anti-LGBTQ protesters, I remarked that I don't understand how they can say they're protesting the sexualization of kids while using vulgar sexual phrases. One of them who isn't doing that said he actually agreed with me.

There's a lot of conspiratorial thinking on display here at the anti-LGBTQ protest outside the drag show in San Antonio. I've heard about George Soros, "globalists," and that the "trans agenda is a CIA psyop."

Reopening the thread to note how right wing propagandists are already spinning last night's events. They selectively emphasize the presence of armed pro-LGBTQ counterprotesters while ignoring they were only there after an FBI designated extremist militia group showed up first.

Elon Musk liked Andy Ngo's absolutely one sided distortion of the events that took place last night in San Antonio. Musk is a far right activist.

Love the idea that trans folks are a CIA op. Like after decades of undermining and brutally murdering revolutionary groups, the CIA got bored and said "yo what if we invent gender dysphoria lol"

If it's not agenda, then why is it our faces and shoved down our throats 24/7. Besides "Marriage" -- acceptance of gays by normies has been the same since the 90s. Who is the target of all this propaganda if most npcs already are fine with queers?
