Derek Brunson, 38, has \u201cno problem with gay people,\u201d but the UFC middleweight does have a problem with children attending a drag show at a gay nightclub over this past weekend.<\/p>\n

The event, held at Mr. Misster in Dallas, Texas was promoted as \u201cDrag The Kids To Pride\u201d.\u00a0 The nightclub was encouraging parents to bring their children on Saturday morning for a kick off celebration of Pride Month.<\/p>\n

A video of the event posted online showed drag queens taking dollar bills from kids\u2019 hands while dancing on a makeshift runway beneath a pink neon sign that read \u201cIT\u2019S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF.\u201d The kids also were shown dancing alongside drag queens while their parents looked on.<\/p>\n

Protestors gathered outside the nightclub and Brunson took to ‘Twitter<\/a>‘ with a series of tweets outlining his disapproval of such an event saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing against the LGBTQ community. It\u2019s more about protecting kids. Their minds aren\u2019t mature enough for these types of behavior.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“This is bit much . Children at a provocative drag show\u2026 Can we protect our children more in today\u2019s society . Children don\u2019t need to be at strip clubs , or any provocative show throwing money . SMFH “🤢”\u00a0 *read the message on the board in the background\u201d \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Derek Brunson continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not gonna lick itself\u201d sign , throwing dollars , twerkin in splits right in front of kids . Search the event to see more. And there\u2019s nothing against the LGBTQ community . It\u2019s more about protecting kids, their minds aren\u2019t mature enough for these types of behaviors\u00a0“👌🏾” <\/em><\/p>\n

“It\u2019ll be the same response from me if pictures of children in a strip club was floating around the internet . FYI I\u2019m not god , I don\u2019t have no problem with gay people . They\u2019re some of the coolest folks . But this is some BS.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you agree with the middleweight fighter that such behaviour with children is unacceptable? Would you take your kids to such an event?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
