SMALL MASSACHUSETTS TOWN BARS DRAG SHOW; ACLU FIRES BACK
April 26, 2023
In this photo provided by Sarah Fahey-Frazier, an unidentified drag performer
sings the popular song "This is Me," on the West Brookfield Town Common, in West
Brookfield, Mass., Saturday, June 26, 2021. Officials in the nearby town of
North Brookfield, Mass., have revoked permission for a local group to hold a
Pride event in June 2023, because it included a drag show, drawing a sharp
rebuke from the American Civil Liberties Union, which said the town is trampling
on the organization's constitutional rights. (Sarah Fahey-Frazier via AP)
NORTH BROOKFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Officials in a small Massachusetts town have
revoked permission for a local group to hold a Pride event because it included a
drag show, drawing a sharp rebuke from the American Civil Liberties Union, which
said the town is trampling on the organization’s constitutional rights.
The North Brookfield select board at a meeting in March at first approved a
request by the Rural Justice Network to hold a “Small Town Pride Day” on the
town common in June.
But the three-member board voted 2-1 at its April 11 meeting to pull permission,
ruling that a drag show violated the town’s restrictions on “adult
entertainment.” They said the event could go on without the drag show.
The ACLU in a letter dated April 18 asked the board to restore full permission
for the event and asked for a response by Wednesday in order to “avoid potential
litigation.”
“We call on North Brookfield and all communities in Massachusetts to recognize
that discrimination against those who choose to express themselves through drag
is inconsistent with our state and federal constitutions and basic democratic
principles,” ACLU senior attorney Ruth Bourquin said in a statement. “Let’s be
clear: Drag is a creative celebration of LGBTQ+ culture, and the government has
no right to censor LGBTQ+ people and expression.”

North Brookfield’s decision is another example of rising anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment
across the nation, the ACLU said. The cvil rights organization said it is
currently tracking nearly 500 anti-LGBTQ bills in the U.S., including some that
would ban or censor performances like drag shows.
The ACLU said it had not received a reply from the town as of Tuesday afternoon
and had no additional comment.
The select board is scheduled to meet in executive session on Tuesday night to
discuss the issue.
Board Chair Jason Petraitis said at the April 11 meeting that he changed his
mind after seeing videos from a drag show in a nearby town that contained
gestures and comments that he considered inappropriate for children.
“The majority of these shows do include sexual innuendo and behavior that
exaggerates all aspects of the individual’s sexuality,” he said at the meeting
“To wit, drag shows should be deemed adult entertainment.”
The town, 50 miles west of Boston with fewer than 5,000 residents, has a ban on
adult entertainment except by special permit in industrial zones, he said.
A message seeking comment was left with Petraitis on Tuesday.
Board member Elizabeth Brooke Canada voted to allow the the drag show to go on,
saying she has seen such shows and has never witnessed anything “unsavory.”
Tashena Marie, a Rural Justice Network board member, said in an email that she
hopes the select board has a change of heart.
