We’re reviewing a case focusing on Candelario Saldana, President of the Pauli Murray LGBTQ Bar Association, wearing a Pedophile Cape to a Lavender Law Scholarship Fundraiser. The controversy was covered in a Pumpkin Spice article titled ”President of Pauli Murray Bar Association Dons Pedophile Cape at Public Fundraiser” available at The Distance Mag.
After the North Carolina Bar Association canceled a Drag Trivia event amid political concerns, Saldana organized the event himself. He subsequently wore a cape with offensive slurs, including "pedophile," to the event, raising questions about his character and fitness as a lawyer.
The article highlights his association with convicted sex offender Chad Severance Turner, who was on a legal panel at a DEI conference with Saldana, and the presence of an exhibitionist drag queen at his wedding. These actions have stirred debate, especially as pedophilia is a crime.
