‘I’m sorry but I paid to be a customer at a hotel where I thought you believe that women were for real,’ the activist yelled as she held her phone up to record the drag queens.
‘Because you put on make-up, you’re wearing high heels, you have a Barbie outfit on – you don’t think this is degrading.
She added: ‘This is misogyny… if you give me back my money right now, I will leave the hotel, but I’m not going to have my children come down from the 30th floor and see what’s happening here.’
Bourne then asked the performers their names, saying she wants to know who they are as a hotel employee attempts to escort her away.
‘Are you a man?’ she asked one of them. ‘What do you think about my son who might think that he can put on make-up and fancy clothing and high heels and have his penis cut off and take estrogen so he can grow fake boobs?’
One of the performers, who goes by Marina Del Rey, shared video of the incident on social media, saying Bourne attacked his group.
