Twitter accounts for right-wing agitator Kelly Neidert and for her “nonprofit” called Protect Texas Kids have both been suspended after Neidert posted over the weekend that everyone attended Pride celebrations should be “rounded up.”
Protect Texas Kids is not on the IRS list of organizations able to accept tax-exempt donations, nor is it registered with the state as a nonprofit.
Neidert, who graduated from the University of North Texas in May, labeled herself the most hated conservative student on the UNT campus after she brought in right-wing and virulently anti-trans political candidate Jeff Younger to speak to students. She also had a reputation for harassing LGBTQ to the point that a Change.org petition was started calling on UNT officials to expel her because she had consistently “perpetuated a hostile environment by encouraging and disseminating transphobic, racist, and homophobic rhetoric.”
After graduating, Neidert created her “Protect Texas Kids” group and turned her focus to drag shows in the DFW area. She was reportedly the organizer behind the June 3 protest of the “kid-friendly drag show” held at Mr. Misster, and behind the protest on June 12 outside Troy’s at Texas Live where the “Disney Drag Brunch” was held.
Dallas police were called to the scene of the June 3 protest and went inside the bar at the insistence of one of the protesters who wanted officers to “conduct a welfare check” of the children inside. Neidert declared protesters had won the day because officers made those with children leave the event. However, a DPD spokesman told Dallas Voice that officers found no problems inside the bar and that when those attending chose to leave, officers escorted them out to protect them from being harassed by the protesters outside.
Officers were also called to the scene in Arlington on June 12 and made protesters move to a sidewalk across the street from the venue, but video posted to Reddit showed a small group of men blocking the sidewalk while shouting slurs, vulgarities and threats at people going into the fundraising event at Troy’s. One man — wearing a black t-shirt with the image of a handgun on it and a kilt with combat boots — threatened to attack one attendee, saying he would “happily” go back to jail for assaulting them.
Protesters at the Disney Drag Brunch apparently were not aware that the sold-out event was for those 21 and up only. The same group had protested near Arlington’s first Pride celebration the day before.

Pretty sad that sexual deviants aren’t able to accept opposition to their choices in life only to cry till people get banned.
@jerry woody I’m interested in what’s driving you to take time out of your day to sit a baseless slug you find comfort in shooting.
What has caused you to feel so insignificant and unheard but the people you see face to face everyday in your own life, that you feel the need to channel that pain onto an easy target and refer to a “holy text” to back it up? It’s subversion of scripture, but I’m not into books I know we’re written by men claiming to be “divinely inspired”. I grew up gay in the 90s. I figured that hustle out long ago.
But what I did learn, is that the ones who made comments like the one you just made… They always ended up having some part of their life that agonized them, so much so that they needed an outlet… Any outlet. Perhaps you’re just a prick. Or perhaps I’m into something else.
This nation is in peril because people stopped caring about their government… Because let’s face it, we all got screwed from both sides for a very long time. Why would anyone care? Then some rich asshole came and took us with tricks our grandparents saw in world war 2! Because he knew we were fed up enough to care about the most basic functions of our election process.
Now it’s back to taunting the easy targets because someone’s going down for treason and old white people are freakin out mannn! Load up your guns and run to Jesus! The queers are after your kids!
Stop being a pussy and talk about what’s really going on…. Like a REAL AMERICAN MAN. Not a fascist bitch who sits behind a screen. Stop being a ho and stand up for your country by honoring our constitution! Or openly support a band of traitors with your hate. Fascist
