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 really like the strategy I've seen used in college campuses before where you use it as a fundraiser. Have a donation table and donate all the money to pro LGBT organizations. I can't find the video I was hoping to but the guy basically said "ignoring them doesn't do anything, and shouting back at them doesn't do anything at the end of the day, but using them to raise money actively helps fight them. I'm going to make this donation in their name because they are helping us raise the money".

It also helps with the people who don't want to be in the protest but want to help actually do something, and it shows that the average person isn't silently in favor of their bullshit.
