Derek talked about the pride month in his recent tweet and expressed his displeasure. The pride month is celebrated in June and has been a long established practice in the U.S. and the world. The pride month was first celebrated in June 1969 in the U.S. to commemorate the Stonewall riots and since then it has spread across the globe and every major country celebrates it in June.
Despite being a hailed as an event of celebrating love, Derek Brunson believes there must be a limit to the celebration. Derek, on his twitter handle, shared pictures of children attending a pride month drag show. The children were accompanied by their parents, but Derek believes these shows are provocative for young minds and they should not attend them.
Derek, on his twitter, posted: “This is a bit much. Children at a provocative drag show… Can we protect our children more in today’s society? Children don’t need to be at strip clubs, or any provocative show throwing money. SMFH. *read the message on the board in the background”
Derek pointed out that the show had some obscene messages written on the wall at the show. That was not a good thing for children to see. According to the pictures, it was written: “It’s not gonna S*** itself,” to which Derek objected.
