Internet users have condemned a video of a tiny child leading a drag queen with huge bare tits by the hand during an event at a Miami bar.
The 16-second video shows a young girl between the ages of two and four wearing a tiara parading with a scantily clad woman.
This performer – who appears to be a transgender woman – proudly displays her giant boobs and her nipples are covered in patties while wearing underwear stuffed with dollar bills.
She parades around Wynwood’s R House in a TikTok video shared by a user called nononoie, who wrote: “Drag show kids!!!! Children deserve fun, self-expression and freedom.”
It is not clear when the clip was shot, who the artist is – and how the invisibility is related to the girl filmed.
She made her TikTok private, probably after receiving a wave of condemnation over the music video.
The clip seemed to anger Christian conservative pundit Lauren Chen, who angrily tweeted: “These people belong in jail. It’s a hill I’m ready to die on.”
“Endorsing total debauchery to make your own degeneracy look tame in comparison – we know the place where it happened… Is anyone going to do anything about it???” she asked on Twitter.
Many users agreed with Chen, who has written about such “disturbing” events several times in the past.

Chen has written several times in the past about her disdain for drag queen events where children are allowed
“Time to prove your worth, Ron DeSantis. Make sure this person is arrested and the place is closed,” tweeted Aaron R.
“This is just wrong Mr. Governor DeSantis, I know it’s not your fault, but you need to do something about it!” – wrote Gabriel Garcia.
“Pedophilia is illegal, gross, horrible and lewd… It doesn’t fit under any free speech laws… These people deserve jail and ultimately hell,” wrote another upset follower on Twitter.
The shocking moment shows a little girl sitting on an adult’s lap at a drag show in Michigan, tipping a performer who is showing off her large synthetic breasts during what was supposed to be a ‘family friendly’ event
Similar incidents have been reported in the past, including in September 2021, when a young woman was filmed tipping a drag queen, revealing a huge set of synthetic breasts, during a “family” event at a Michigan gay gym.
The child, whose age was not released, handed the bill to RuPaul’s Drag Race star Yara Sofia at Hamburger Mary’s in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the clip.
She was placed on the lap of an adult woman at the time, who smiled warmly as the young man tipped the performer, whose real name is Gabriel Burgos Ortiz.
Sophia walked around the bar wearing a pair of large fake breasts that hung outside her costumes, complete with tiny yellow pasties that covered her nipple in what appeared to be an attempt at modesty.
The Grand Rapids location of Hamburger Mary’s closed in January of this year, but its Facebook page is still active, complete with lots of event flyers.
Many are clearly advertised as being intended for an 18+ audience only.
But the flyer for the drag event that Yara Sofia attended was not, suggesting that it could indeed be marketed as a family event.
A September 2021 video posted by the infamous @LibsofTikTok account nearly nine months later shows the artist running away, taking a few more tips and leaving it all behind
This is a flyer for the Yara Sofia event. Unlike other nights advertised by Hamburger Mary’s, it was not billed as being only for customers aged 18 and over, suggesting that the event may have been billed as a family event.
Yara Sofia is the stage name of Gabriel Burgos Ortiz, 38, a Puerto Rican native and singer
The footage of the youngsters interacting with the drag queens comes as a national debate rages over whether young children are being exposed to inappropriate content by well-meaning family members and educators in the name of promoting equality LGBT.
New York spends heavily to send drag queens to its public elementary schools, losing more than $200,000 to the performances since 2018.
According to the New York Post, the city paid $46,000 in May to send NYC’s Drag Story Hour to public schools, libraries and street festivals.
Some parents say the programs were booked without their consent, while city officials responded with outrage, the Post reported.
The Drag Queen Story Hours also made headlines. They see performers reading fairy tales to children at events held in schools or libraries.
The books read to children are children’s stories, usually with drag queens in less revealing outfits.
Supporters say the events are harmless and innocent, but conservatives say the story hours often veer into age-inappropriate vulgarity.

The non-profit Drag Queen Story Hour was founded in San Francisco in 2015 by activist and writer Michelle Tee. Since then, branches have opened in the US and other countries. Other organizations with readers were also formed.
As part of the Drag Queen Story Hour program, drag queens read to children and their parents at libraries, bookstores, fairs, parks and other public spaces to celebrate reading “through the glamorous art of drag.”
In 2022 alone, Drag Story Hour NYC performed 49 times in 34 New York City public schools, according to the website.
The organization describes itself as promoting inclusiveness, creativity and self-acceptance among children by exposing them to reading books on similar topics.

“Through fun and wonderful educational experiences, our programs celebrate gender diversity and all forms of difference to build empathy and give children the confidence to express themselves, however they feel,” the website says.
Images from the site show people dressed in sparkly dresses, sparkly wigs and heavy eye shadow reading to young children in a classroom and even helping the children apply their own make-up.
The company has received $207,000 from taxpayers since 2018, records show. Of that, $50,000 came from the New York State Council on the Arts, and the remaining $157,000 came from the New York City Department of Education, Department of Youth and Community Development, Department of Transportation and Cultural Affairs.
Funding was provided by City Council members, with $80,000 allocated to drag programs in 2022 alone – more than triple the amount allocated to drag programs in 2020.
