A Katy ISD board member on Wednesday confirmed he and his wife attended a protest ahead of a church drag bingo event.⁠ ⁠ “Speaking as an individual, and nothing to do with Katy ISD, I was there with my wife the Sunday before (the event) with a group of Catholics,” Victor Perez said over the phone.⁠ ⁠ Perez, who was elected to the board in May, clarified he was not in attendance at another protest of the same drag queen bingo event on Saturday at First Christian Church in Katy. That protest drew out more than 100 people who expressed they believed it was inappropriate for adults to let their children see drag queens.⁠ ⁠ Among the protesters on Saturday were members of the white supremacist group Patriot Front, the neo-facist group Proud Boys, and the neo-Nazi group Aryan Freedom Network. Both protesters and counter protesters displayed firearms.⁠ ⁠ The protest Perez said he attended for about an hour and a half on Sept. 18 in front of the church was “peaceful” and “prayerful,” he said.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to read more.
