The future of a Pride event that included a drag show in a small Massachusetts town remains up in the air after town officials held another vote on whether to allow the event
The North Brookfield select board voted Tuesday night to rescind a previous vote to deny a permit for the Rural Justice Network's “Small Town Pride Day” on the town common in June because it included a drag show, which two members of the three-member board said violated restrictions on “adult entertainment."
“It's a public common, and we can't deny them access. But we disagreed with them having the drag show, so the motion failed," he said Wednesday. “But that does not mean they can't still have the event on their own.” “We are pleased that the explicit ban on drag performance has been removed," the group said in a statement Wednesday. “But we are seeking clarification from the town about the implications of two board members refusing to expressly approve Small Town Pride, and our discussions with the ACLU and LGBTQ+ community continue."The select board at a meeting in March at first approved Rural Justice Network's request.
