RuPaul’s Drag Race queens speak out against anti-trans bills
It’s no secret that the Republicans are ruining the world. In Tennessee, new legislation has been introduced that places a ban on minors attending drag shows. We’re only into March of this year and already over 300 bills have been introduced that directly attack queer and trans people and performers alike. So, some of your favorite queens are taking a stand in a new video that aims to spread awareness. Please watch Sasha Colby, Kerry Colby, Kylie Sonique Love, and Heidi N Closet, just to name a few, speak on this important issue here.
Raja’s upcoming tour is canceled
Raja, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 3 and the Queen of She Already Done Had Herses from All-Stars, All Winners, has sadly canceled her upcoming United States tour. She issued a statement on Instagram where she stated that her team is hoping to better perfect her creative vision and that touring on the current show would not be authentic to who she is as a performer. For those who already purchased tickets, refunds will be issued. We can’t wait to see what the reimagined tour will look like!
