Drag shows are among the many things Greg Abbott and his stupid Republican cronies are trying to destroy in the LGBTQ community across the state of Texas through backward, puritanical, right-wing-nutjob-nutty legislation.
Therefore, we’re going to promote drag in all its glorious forms as much as we can because all these conservative righty-tighties can kindly go f*ck themselves.
We’re taking a page from Jinkx Monsoon, who during the curtain call for their holiday show with BenDeLaCreme referenced protestors outside the Majestic Theatre downtown. (We’re paraphrasing because we weren’t recording her statement for obvious reasons).
“Simply being here at our show is an act of protest and we thank you.”
Wow, attending a drag show in 2023 is an act of protest. What a sad state of affairs.
So this weekend, embark on your own act of protest and go out and see every drag show you can get into. And tip extra because who knows how much harder it’s going to get for these gals to make a living in Texas.
There will be several local drag queens on stages across town for you to cheer on and tip out. Plus, special guest star Loosey Laduca (whom we have a major crush on out of drag) will be headlining at the Rose Room as part of a full night of Carnival celebrations around the gayborhood.
That means it’s time to break out the Mardi Gras beads and get ready to party like you’ve only got one night in New Orleans
