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.

It doesn't matter. Nobody is going to be convinced by anything you say. The protesters won't be especially hurt by a really good burn. You could yell gibberish into the megaphone. The important thing is that you are there, loudly showing your support for the drag queens.

yeah i do agree. id say id do very little to convince them. that's why I ultimate leaning towards a subversive pro love message. like one of my lines is going to be "both sides are here to spread the love an acceptance of all gods children, including drag queens". also I had a trial run with a Christian and using the bible to compel them to love made them crash out harder than any hate for bible or Christianity. plus I should be here for the drag queens.
