St. George leaders side with Downtown Farmers Market in dispute over drag booth

By a 4-1 margin, St. George City Council members voted to renew the sponsorship for another six months.Despite heated opposition in some corners over a drag event, municipal council members decided Thursday not to scrap the city’s sponsorship of the Downtown Farmers Market.

“It does violate community standards if you are behind a closed curtain promoting drag Mrs. Claus and drag elves [to] come sit on their laps in exchange for money to raise funds for all-age drag shows in the community,” Tanner told Puzey at the meeting in the packed council chambers. Tanner’s allegations drew a stinging rebuke from Councilwoman Dannielle Larkin and Mayor Michele Randall, who accused her of deliberately mischaracterizing the nature of the drag booth and politicizing the sponsorship issue.“The way Councilwoman Tanner just described it is a complete mischaracterization of what happened,” she said. “That is not at all what it was like. We need to get back to the reason why we’re here, which is the Farmers Market.

In talking about the drag booth at Mofaco on Dalley’s show, Tanner said sponsoring a business ties the city into whatever decisions owners make or ideological views they promote. August Nelson reminded the council of the HBO “We’re Here” drag show some on the council tried to quash last summer.

Not surprised. Southern Utah wacko’s! To much inbreeding.

If she doesn't fall in line she must be outted. And must atone for her wrong think.

She is right on one of the issues. We should be fine with them hosting the drag event and the anti-vaccination event.

People like her are the only thing holding St George back from being the best place in Utah.

There’s a joke here somewhere that includes Michelle Tanner, Bob Sagat, Candace Cameron and of course, Kirk Cameron the RWNJ.

We need less people like Michelle Tanner anywhere near St George

St. George City Council could end sponsorship of farmers market over drag booth in private storeSeveral months after forcing St. George City Manager Adam Lenhard to resign, members of the municipal council are meeting this afternoon to consider scrapping the city’s sponsorship of Downtown Farmers Market. Once again, furor over a drag event is prompting the council’s action. Backed by the Liberty Action Coalition, the anti-vaccination group Your Health Freedom Dixie and like-minded groups on the far right end of the political spectrum, Councilwoman Michelle Tanner is spearheading the effort. St George is becoming a real haven for hate and bigotry. If only they'd stop drinking water.... This is ridiculous. The fear of these people is totally unnecessary. St. George allows polygamist child rapists to live peacefully just down the road but throw tantrums over adult males wearing make/up. What a bunch of sickos.
