Oregon in Uproar: Video Shows Drag Queens Dancing on State House Floor

A viral video making the rounds on social media this week has sparked nationwide outrage. The footage shows drag queens dancing inside the Oregon State Capitol, right on the legislative chamber floor — a place meant for lawmaking, not theatrics. The event, which appears to have been officially sanctioned or at least tolerated by local officials, has ignited a firestorm of criticism from citizens who see it as yet another sign of the institutional and cultural decline driven by progressive agendas in left-leaning states.

The performance featured flamboyant costumes, exaggerated makeup, provocative moves, and loud cheers from the gallery — all within the official legislative hall where laws are debated and passed. To many, this is not inclusion; it’s a mockery of civic duty and a misuse of taxpayer-funded space.

Activism or Spectacle?
Organizers defended the show as a “celebration of diversity and artistic expression,” but critics see it differently. Since when does a state legislature become a stage for drag entertainment? Who authorized the use of the Capitol floor for this event? Where is the line between inclusion and ideological indoctrination?

This wasn’t a public library, a town square, or a private venue. This was the Oregon State Capitol — the symbolic and functional heart of governance in the state. And what took place there was, in the eyes of millions, a profanation of the institution and a violation of the public’s trust.

As of this writing, the Speaker of the Oregon House has yet to issue an official statement, but several Republican lawmakers are calling for a formal investigation into the use of government property for events of an ideological nature.

Reactions: “What if it had been a church service?”
One of the most shared posts on X (formerly Twitter) summed up the sentiment perfectly:

“If a group organized a Christian prayer or worship service on the House floor, it would’ve been shut down for violating the separation of church and state. But if there’s wigs, glitter, and drag — it’s suddenly acceptable?”

This is not about “phobia,” nor is it an attack on individuals who perform drag. It’s about context. About appropriateness. About respect for public institutions.

Under the strong leadership of President Donald Trump, the federal government has emphasized a return to order, tradition, and institutional respect. Incidents like this only reinforce what millions of Americans already feel — that progressive state governments like Oregon are no longer reflecting the values of their people.

State Power Used as an Ideological Platform
What happened in Oregon is not an isolated incident. Across the country, Democrat-controlled states have increasingly used government buildings, taxpayer funds, and public platforms to push a particular worldview under the banner of “diversity and inclusion.”

But here’s the real question: Who represents the citizens who don’t agree with these displays? Who speaks for the Americans who feel alienated by these performative spectacles masquerading as civic events?

This isn’t just about drag. It’s about governance, accountability, and the integrity of our institutions.

Conclusion: Culture Is a Political Issue
The drag performance on the Oregon House floor isn’t just viral — it’s symbolic. It reveals the deep disconnect between a political elite obsessed with performance and a public demanding order, seriousness, and representation.

In 2025, under President Trump’s renewed leadership, the nation is regaining institutional confidence. But in some states, the cultural battle is far from over — and increasingly urgent.

Because if we allow the halls of government to become stages for political theater, we should not be surprised when the law becomes a performance.
