One final word before we wrap up. The violent and homophobic rhetoric against the drag community from both the Republican party and their bigoted hoard of followers has made life much more dangerous for our community than it has been in a long time. Please be safe and alert at all times and look out for your LGBTQ+ friends and family. Any groups that are actively opposing these vile forces, please know that WERRRK.com stands with you and offers our site’s resources to amplify your message in any way we can. Stay strong everyone and continue to live bravely and authentically.
