Chris Keele speaks out against drag at last Thursday's St George City Council meeting. The black and white sticker on his Oath Keepers Utah shirt reads Protect Utah's Kids.The off-and-on again cultural clash over drag events in St. George is back on after city leaders rejected Southern Utah Drag Stars’ application to stage an all-ages drag event at a municipal park.
