They want to be taken seriously. So if you have a trombone, bagpipes, a clown costume… anything that makes a mockery of their protest will hurt them more than all the facts and clever phrasing in the world.

These people are prepared to argue that aren’t prepared for a clown with a ukalalee .

White face paint is cheap. Add a couple red dots on your cheekbones and around your mouth. Boom you’re a clown. The whole time the are talking just stand next to them. Slump your shoulders and rub your hand under your eyes with the classic wrist twisting motion. So they know you’re crying with them.

Make sure they can’t get a single good picture of their protest without “that damn clown is in the way!”

Cost you about 3 bucks in supplies and would hurt than more than any megaphone.

He’ll it’s a drag show? I’m sure someone could lend you some makeup if you tell them why.

Get some stats on who the real dangers to kids are. Short, punchy, numerical facts to repeat again and again.

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.

Gay sex prevents abortions. Suck a cock for Jesus.

I would get a poster that says "Not Drag Queens," and behind the words are mugshots of sex offenders.

Then they came for the drag queens, and I stood with them, because I know how the rest of the poem goes.

IT'S ALL GOD'S PLAN

GOD MADE US THIS WAY AND GOD DOESN'T MAKE MISTAKES

even better if you can find verses to support you and throw them back at them.

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!"

Be a queen. Don't be a drag.

Founding fathers wore wigs.

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.

Jesus and his disciples wore dresses every day. It's biblical.

Glitter bombs.
