Throughout the show, performers danced and reached for dollar bills shoved at them by a shouting audience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4743336\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20\/IMG_0455.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4743336\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/09\/20\/IMG_0455-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Former self-described drag queen Kevin Whitt, shown here before he stopped performing as a woman, now warns parent that drag shows aimed at children are part of a plan to destroy the nuclear family.\u00a0 (Courtesy of Kevin Whitt)<\/figure>\n<p>One drag performer wore a blonde wig and tight, white dress that revealed the contours of his legs, buttocks, and stomach. Occasionally, he hiked up his outfit to keep fake breasts from escaping. A brunette wig and a barely-there leopard print skirt disguised the other male performer as a woman.<\/p>\n<p>Before the show, the two announced that recording or photographing their show was forbidden, and anyone doing so would be thrown out.<\/p>\n<p>Staff at the bar said the media blackout was to protect the drag performers.<\/p>\n<p>The packed bar let out a rousing cheer at the idea of throwing out anyone who documented the event.<\/p>\n<p>With that, each so-called \u201cdrag queen,\u201d in turn, sashayed through the restaurant, lip-syncing to the music, and executing provocative dance moves.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd cheered and waved cash meant as tips.<\/p>\n<h2>Who\u2019s There?<\/h2>\n<p>Few of the children in attendance looked older than 13. Some were far younger, including a\u00a0tiny girl with Velcro-buckled shoes, and a little boy with silky-blond hair.<\/p>\n<p>One boy wearing sparkly eye makeup got an up-close view of the leopard-dress performer flash his women\u2019s underwear, while performing splits.<\/p>\n<p>When a performer danced near a young girl, the teen or tween\u2019s mother handed the child money to hand off as a tip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the LGBTs in the building, shout out!\u201d one of the performers called into the microphone. He received a huge cheer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllies, shout out!\u201d he commanded. The audience cheered again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone else?\u201d he asked. Silence.<\/p>\n<p>To kick off bingo play, one of the performers coyly pointed out the letter-arrangement of the game card.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s \u201cB to the O to the O to the B,\u201d he said, in a not-so-subtle reference to female anatomy.<\/p>\n<p>When asking for comment on the event, an Epoch Times reporter was directed by Big Chill and Grill staff members to an employee with the words \u201cCourage\u201d and \u201cStrength\u201d tattooed on her arms. She declined to comment.<\/p>\n<h2>Stop the Press<\/h2>\n<p>Multiple Chattanooga businesses have allied to keep the press out of events like this one, conservative social media influencer Ashley Kaye told The Epoch Times. Kaye lives in Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4761280\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ashley-Kaye-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy  wp-image-4761280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ashley-Kaye-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"225\" height=\"291\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4761280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Ashley-Kaye-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"225\" height=\"291\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Social media influencer Ashley Kaye has covered LGBT events marketed to children in Chattanooga.

But Kaye said she has yet to see proof that threats are being sent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they have nothing to hide, why are they so concerned with us filming it?\u201d she wondered aloud.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kaye, many of the same groups that sponsor Chattanooga Pride Week\u2019s \u201cchild-friendly\u201d drag shows also sponsor schools. She believes the events are designed to get children used to the idea of sex with adults.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re purposely doing this because children are impressionable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole point is they want to normalize pedophilia,\u201d Kaye alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Although businesses have tried to disguise support for \u201cchild-friendly\u201d drag events as support for LGBT issues, Kaye said it\u2019s only a smokescreen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a lot of friends who are gay, who are liberal gays from when I lived in California. And I don\u2019t know one of them that\u2019s OK with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jackson-elliott\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/WEB_JacksonElliott.jpeg\" alt=\"Jackson Elliott\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jackson Elliott reports on small-town America for The Epoch Times.
