It's no longer a free country


Journalist faces arrest after trying to expose all-ages drag show



'It's not a free country. You guys proved it,' reporter tells Texas police.

A journalist was reportedly arrested over the weekend after he attempted to expose an all-ages drag show held at the Mission Event Center in Mission, Texas.

The Fiesta de Colores event was held on Saturday and hosted by RGV PRIDE, a South Texas Equality Project group. It was open to the public for $10 per person. One advertisement promoted the event as free for children under 12, while another conflicting ad stated that children under 10 could enter for free.

"All ages welcomed," one ad stated. "Vendors, drag entertainers, music & more."

"RGV PRIDE presents Fiesta de Colores, a celebration of diversity with the LGBTQIA+ Family & Allies. The event will take place at Mission Event Center and will feature a variety of activities, including music, dancing, and more. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 19th, 2024, from 3pm to 12am," it continued. "Did you know in October as part of LGBTQ+ History Month we have: 8th - International Lesbian Day 11th - National Coming Out Day 15th - National Latinx HIV/AIDS Awareness Day 16th - International Pronoun Day 26th - Intersex Awareness Day Last week: Asexual Awareness Week."
