During a recent campaign event, a person approached Texas Democrat James Talarico and asked him to name his favorite Texas drag queen. He was able to answer the question without even thinking about it.
That’s rather telling, isn’t it?
Talarico’s devotion to LGBT issues is widely know but his ability to answer such a specific question so quickly is really something to see.
FOX News reports:
Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico instantly named Alyssa Edwards when asked at a campaign event to identify his favorite drag queen in the state — pointing to someone who has publicly described himself as “a drag performer that works with children.”
Talarico’s past comments on sexuality and gender issues have become a line of attack in the Senate race, including his remark that “God is nonbinary” and his 2023 praise for Texas having “some of the best drag queens in the nation.”
“Mr. Talarico, so nice to meet you… I was there when you defended the drags,” video shows a man telling the Democratic nominee as he approached to take a photo together at the event.
“Who’s your favorite drag queen in Texas?” the man asks in the video.
Without a pause, Talarico responds: “Oh, my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.”
The exchange comes after the Washington Free Beacon reported on a 2021 event Talarico headlined called “Taylor PRIDE” in Taylor, Texas, where an 11-year-old boy performed in drag under the name Kween Kee Kee.
In the more recent exchange, Talarico’s instant response naming Edwards referred to Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, whose stage name is Alyssa Edwards. Johnson has been an outspoken advocate for youth drag shows.

Youth drag shows?
This is who Talarico is and this is what he supports.
