Two Liberal ministers faced a wave of backlash over the weekend prompted by a series of woke tweets meant to celebrate drag queens and raise awareness about “Menstrual Hygiene Day.”

Minister of Defence Anita Anand posted photos of herself with several drag queens, calling drag entertainment “one of Canada’s fundamental freedoms.”

“Expressing yourself through drag is one of Canada’s fundamental freedoms. It’s crucial that we show up to support the 2SLGBTQI+ community in all its diversity. I enjoyed seeing Devine Darling & Vitality Black at Community Resto. Looking forward to a fantastic #Pride2023,” tweeted Anand.
