"Arlington County and the County Board unequivocally support the LGBTQ+ community. 
ACPD's swift response ensured the safety of patrons and staff, and the fortitude of Freddie and drag queen Tara Hoot allowed the show to go on.

...

Freddie’s represents the very best of Arlington’s values as an establishment that prides itself on creating a safe and welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community and allies by centering love over hate, understanding over unacceptance, and empathy over bigotry.

The Board, like Freddie’s, remains committed to ensuring Arlington remains a safe, welcoming, and inclusive place for our LGBTQ+ community. "

Yes, but they can't see anything wrong with promoting drag queens as role models for impressionable children.
I can.
