A north Alabama drag show has been canceled days after a Huntsville animal rescue was threatened after holding Drag Queen Story Hour involving a middle school teacher.

The Shoals Diversity Center, an LGBTQ advocacy group based in Florence, said it canceled its “Drag Bingo & Show” scheduled for Sunday night at a Florence bistro in wake of the threats.

“DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL AND FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR PERFORMERS, WE HAVE TO CANCEL OUR SUNDAY SHOW. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY IN THESE TIMES,” the organization said on its Facebook page.

The center added that there is there is “a safety issue with the performers because of recent events in the news out of Huntsville,” referring to the threats Hard Knocks Rescue & Training received when the conservative group Libs of TikTok posted a video of the performance involving Mountain Gap Middle school teacher James Miller.

The account alleged that in the video, Miller, who was dressed as drag queen Majesty Divine, “made a series of lewd sexual innuendos and jokes” including the comment that “everyone likes a big bone,” while reading “Walter the Farting Dog,” a children’s book about a pet whose owner wants to return him because of his gas.

Hard Knocks Rescue and Training’s directors said in a Facebook post that after their video was shared by Libs of TikTok, the nonprofit received negative reviews on Google and social media as well as death threats, which they’ve reported to the FBI and local police.

One email the rescue shared on Facebook had the subject line “burn in hell,” with the emailer writing that they hope “the next workplace shooting occurs at your organization…maybe then our children will be safe from predators like you.”

The principal of Mountain Gap Middle School, where Miller teaches, sent a letter to the community today stating officials will conduct “a thorough review of the situation” although the reading did not occur on school property or during school hours, and added “we want to reassure you this does not reflect our views as a school community.”

“This was not a school-related event, it did not take place on school property, it did not occur during school hours, and it has no connection to any instruction that occurs in our classrooms,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, Miller told WAAY that he had been put on paid leave.
