Drag queens took over the Oregon House of Representatives floor on Wednesday in a strange spectacle.

“This was the Oregon House floor this morning used to celebrate Black Drag Queens. I’m not sure the Founding Fathers envisioned taxpayer-funded legislative chambers being turned into platforms for political theater,” state Rep. Dwayne Yunker, a Republican, said.

“The House floor is meant for serious debate, lawmaking, and serving all Oregonians not partisan spectacles designed to push cultural agendas. If this feels more like a performance than governance, you’re not alone,” he continued.

From the New York Post:

The bizarre fiasco erupted on the chamber floor in honor of a Democratic resolution recognizing “the artistry of black drag performers” in the Beaver State, Rep. Travis E. Nelson told The Post.

The Democrat is the first black LGBTQIA+ House member.

Video of the flamboyant display captured the two queens — one sporting a bright yellow shimmery jumpsuit, with the other rocking a rainbow-hued one-piece with a blue wig — lip-synching to Aretha Franklin’s “A Deeper Love” while dancing wildly and jumping up and down around the chamber for nearly five minutes.

“Tomorrow at 11 a.m., when the House convenes, two drag queens will be performing a lip-sync in honor of a Democratic House resolution recognizing Black drag queens in Oregon. This is outrageous and a complete waste of taxpayer money,” Yunker said Tuesday evening.

A closer look:

Per MRCTV:

Meanwhile, Oregon won’t fix their exploding homeless population or keep the streets overdose-free, but the left will roll out the red carpet for drag performers in their legislative chamber.

If this is what the future of state politics looks like, democracy isn’t just dying; it’s being smothered in sequins, fake lashes, and bad choreography.

At this point, the only thing being dragged is Oregon’s reputation.
