House of ALXNDR sought submissions from teenagers ages 13 to 18 for an "all ages" drag performance tied to a Pride Month event in Atlanta on June 14.
The Facebook post, which asked teens or their parents to apply for the Cabbage Patch show, appeared to be removed after a Fox News Digital inquiry.
Wild Heaven Beer's West End brewery and gardens was listed as the venue, with the broader event scheduled from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the drag show set for 2 p.m.
Online backlash followed, with social media users criticizing the involvement of minors; Fox News Digital said it also sought comment from House of ALXNDR.
The dispute adds to recurring fights over youth-facing drag events, after other groups including the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence drew criticism over child-oriented programming last year.
Beyond the online outrage, what is the true impact of performing in drag on a teenager’s well-being?
