Shocking moment young activist physically BLOCKS Texas senate’s sergeant at arms from taking the mic as trans woman compares lawmakers to Nazis over new bill criminalizing drag shows
- Loren Perkins, a transgender woman, was speaking at the Texas capital on Thursday against anti-drag bills when she compared lawmakers to Nazis
This is the shocking moment an LGBTQ activist blocks the Texas senate’s sergeant in arms from taking the mic from a trans speaker – who compared lawmakers to Nazis as they consider criminalizing drag shows.
Loren Perkins, a transgender woman, appeared at the state capital on Thursday to provide public comment on a few laws that would prohibit drag performances in the Lone Star State.
Perkins was seen in a viral video on TikTok with more than 445 million views speaking to lawmakers past her two-minute speech mark as a security started guard to make his way toward her.
Before the microphone can be grabbed away from her, another activist rushed in front of the sergeant and placed their arms wide open to avoid him from interrupting Perkins’ speech.
‘By manipulating the words of an ancient text and shoehorning it into legislation aimed at an at risk minority population, you liken yourself to another group that gained popularity in Germany in the 1930s,’ Perkins said. ‘When a small man with a smaller mustache stood before crowds and proclaimed himself superior to others – I see you here doing the same.’
Public speakers at the state senate are permitted to speak on topics for two minutes before a timer goes off to cut them off.
