Did you read the story? It was a family festival outdoors on the London Southbank (essentially a long public walkway) at 6.30 in the evening. It was a National Theatre Festival, advertised as outdoor live music, dance, performance, workshops and family fun. Parents brought their kids to see some child friendly theatre and got surprised by the drag acts. Following complaints from disgusted parents, this drag performer has now been banned.

No, they knew drag was a big part of the show.

They decided to sacrifice their kid's mental health to virtue signal.

My bad. Yeah, that is pretty stupid. But I guess that while these parents were stupid enough to bring their kids to a "family drag show," they were at least copped on enough to kick up a fuss about the content. It's a low bar, I know.

Well, on the opposite side, it's also the UK with a big tradition of pantomime, which commonly uses very family-friendly drag acts. It's perfectly viable to think "family drag show? Oh, it's just some panto dames, that's nice", and find it's an actual...well, DRAG SHOW.
