It is unimaginable to think of a more graphic and disturbing depiction of Hell than what one might see at a so-called “family-friendly” drag show involving children. These events are a blatant and disgusting rebellion against God’s holy and righteous design for humanity. Cross-dressing and pretending to be the opposite gender is a myth that goes against the very essence of who we are as creations of God.

The Scriptures are filled with examples of societies being turned over to sexual immorality as a judgment against them for their sins. Sexual anarchy, by its very definition, is a judgment in itself for the sins that brought it about. It is destructive to the human race and blatant disrespect to the God that we serve. We must speak out against this sinful behavior and expose it for what it is. We must call on those involved to repent and turn back to the ways of God.

The Scriptures are clear on the destructive nature of sexual immorality and the judgment that it brings upon societies that embrace it. Romans 1:26-27 states: “For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” Sexual anarchy could not be more clear than what is described in Romans 1.

This passage makes it clear that those who engage in sexual sin are turning their backs on God’s design for humanity and inviting judgment upon themselves. Sexual immorality, whether it be homosexuality, transgenderism, drag queens, adultery, or any other perversion of God’s design for human sexuality, is a sin that goes against the very nature of who we are as creations of God. It is destructive to society and blatant disrespect to the God who created us to worship Him.

At a recent Christmas-themed drag show in Orlando, FL, children were subjected to a drag queen simulating childbirth on stage. This is just one example of the many ways in which these events rebel against God’s created order, celebrate sexual acts outside of marriage, and spread disease. But perhaps the most disturbing aspect of these shows is the way in which they expose children to such depraved and disturbing spectacles. Jesus himself warned that it would be better for those who subject children to such horrors to have a millstone fastened around their neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. We must stand strong against this kind of sinful behavior and do everything in our power to protect the innocent and defend the values that we hold dear.

The good news, however, is that Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, says he plans to hold those involved accountable according to a statement published online by Bryan Griffin, the governor’s press secretary. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) is currently investigating a sexually explicit performance that was marketed to children and held in Fort Lauderdale on December 26th.

The DBPR has received multiple complaints about the event and is reviewing video footage and photographs from it. Exposing children to sexually explicit activity is a crime in Florida and violates the DBPR’s licensing standards for operating a business and holding a liquor license. The DBPR will share any collected evidence with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for potential criminal liability. The DBPR frequently conducts investigations into these kinds of allegations upon tips from the public and considers them a priority.
