Whitt, Proud Boys attack another drag brunch

Another drag brunch in The Colony is being targeted by right-wingers. Organizers of The Cantina Dolls Drag Brunch set for noon on Saturday, Aug. 6, at Lava Cantina, 5805 Grandscape in The Colony, said they have received “hundreds of insults and threats” and have even been contacted by the FBI who warned that The Proud Boys are planning on protesting the event next weekend.

One organizer said that Kevin Whitt, a Dallas hair dresser and failed drag queen who has since “converted” to Christianity and spends his time protesting LGBTQ events and issues, “has made it his mission to call us groomers/pedophiles/etc. to every news outlet that will speak to him,” prompting the flood of insults and threats.”

The event had first been advertised as open to all ages but with an advisory warning of “adult themes.” But since the threats started pouring in, it has changed to an 18-and-over event in hopes of getting the attacks to ease up. The change has not helped though, organizers said.

Whitt, a former staff field organizer with the Republican Party of Texas was fired by the Texas GOP last year after posting to Facebook a video of himself on the steps of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection along with video of himself arguing with an employee of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria over the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory.
