Drag shows can range from burlesque-style, adult-themed nightclub acts to all-ages events with sing-alongs and story times.

In May 2023, the Texas state representative, Bryan Slaton hit major headlines when he resigned from his House membership on Monday, May 8.
His resignation comes after an investigation determined he supplied alcohol to a 19-year-old aide and had sex with her at his apartment after she was intoxicated.
He resigned just two days after a Texas House committee found he violated multiple rules through the inappropriate relationship with the young woman “who was unable to give effective consent” because Slaton was her boss.
According to the House committee report, Slaton invited the teenage aide to his apartment on March 31, supplied her with rum and cokes to the point she felt intoxicated, and then had sexual intercourse with the young woman.
The committee of three Republicans and two Democrats unanimously recommended Slaton be expelled from the House in their report.
The Texas state House voted unanimously on Tuesday, May 9 to expel a lawmaker who had been accused of sexual misconduct, just a day after he resigned from his seat.
