TITFF staged a rally at the Aztec theater, where they wanted to host a drag party. It's when transvestites hang out in one place dressing up as women. The rally participants demanded the introduction of age restriction on visiting such shows in the state. TITFF members were armed.
In response to this, representatives and supporters of the LGBT community also came to the rally, not forgetting to take weapons with them. In protest they demanded not to cancel the show and to leave everything as it is. To be specified that at some point the number of participants in the counter-protest more than doubled outnumbered TITFF, according to Newsweek.

Despite the fact that there were many representatives of the LGBT community more, the Starlighter Theater has announced that it is canceling all performances drag show until the end of the year due to threats received both personally and the Internet.
“The goal of The Starlighter has always been to provide a safe spaces for entertainment for all ages, and, unfortunately, now we are made to feel unsafe in our own space," the theater said in a statement.
