what's the best things to say at a counter protest of a drag show (lemmings.world)

to be clear I'm gonna be counter protesting a protest of a drag show so I'm being pro drag show.

I put in my order for a megaphone to take to protest and events. the people protesting the show are the biblical type from what I hear, I'm actually pretty ignorant on the details, but I smell an instigation opportunity, or an opportunity to spread love to drag queens. I'm not into drag shows all I know is Rupaul drag show exist and its like a clothing designer show.

I need more pro drag queen phrases to fall back on. I'll say we love out lgbt community if I hear the f slur.

but i have came up with some things like pointing to a preacher and saying they're gonna have the next chomo/lester scandal.

or I can be extra funny and say that they're here to join us take on billionaire pedro-philes like Donald trump.

ill up for pro-drag queen, anti-hater, or subversive phrases.

I'd be tempted to go all patriot on them:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Shout "those against freedom and the pursuit happiness, are enemies of america!"

I do that one a lot too when talking about immigrants. “No you misunderstood. We are a nation of immigrants but my family wasn’t. My families been here since the late 1600s. America formed around us. Like lt Dan, a member of my family fought and died in every American war. This is my damn country and you’re not going to shut MY DOOR behind you. I want immigrants in MY country. If you don’t like it here, you leave. They can stay”

I also have Native American blood in me but not enough to brag about.

I’m also technically a Mormon priest so I declare drag shows to be biblically fine. Not a sin at all. I bless them.

I call it the “out pizza the hut strategy” oh you’re family lived in this town 150 years? That’s adorable. The largest man made lake in Texas is named after my great grandfather. Your family is just on vacation compared to mine.
