History
The "Return to Order" campaign, led by the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, sought to end the series and cancel a scheduled December 2019 performance at Folly Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. The campaign gathered 13,000 signatures. Scheduled performers were Aja, Chi Chi DeVayne, Eureka O'Hara, Farrah Moan, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Sasha Velour, and Shea Couleé, with Trinity the Tuck hosting.{{Cite web|url=https://www.advocate.com/people/2019/12/02/catholic-hate-group-petitions-end-drag-queen-christmas-show|title=Catholic Hate Group Petitions to End Drag Queen Christmas Show|date=2019-12-02|website=www.advocate.com|language=en|access-date=2020-01-25|archive-date=2020-01-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200125032054/https://www.advocate.com/people/2019/12/02/catholic-hate-group-petitions-end-drag-queen-christmas-show|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/12/christian-group-goes-ballistic-christmas-drag-show-insult-birth-christ/|title=Christian group goes ballistic over a Christmas drag show: "An insult to the birth of Christ"|last=Villarreal|first=Daniel|date=2019-12-03|website=LGBTQ Nation|access-date=2020-01-25|archive-date=2019-12-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191225120037/https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/12/christian-group-goes-ballistic-christmas-drag-show-insult-birth-christ/|url-status=live}}
