Editor’s Note: This is the full text of the memorandum that Sen. Doug Mastriano posted on Tuesday for all members of the Pennsylvania Senate.

After receiving the gentleman from Franklin County’s memo late yesterday regarding “drag events,” I felt compelled to respond. While I disagree with the gentleman’s proposal as a matter of policy, I take particular exception to his distorted characterization of the Rainbow Room’s Queer Prom, a dance specifically arranged for LGBTQ+ youth in Bucks County.
