Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier spent two months trying to shut down a Pensacola production of A Drag Queen Christmas, a holiday-themed show featuring former competitors from RuPaul's Drag Race. Uthmeier called the show "demonic," "anti-Christian," and "harmful" to children — instead, the December 23 show sold out its 1,600-seat venue.
"We can't thank Pensacola enough for showing out and showing up," tour host Nina West said in a video alongside her other performers. The Florida performance marked the touring show's 21st state in a 23-state run that goes through December 29.
