Throughout LGBTQ+ history, drag has held an essential role as a form of expression, resistance, and solidarity, offering a platform for self-discovery and challenging societal norms. From fighting back in the Stonewall Riots to raising funds for research during the AIDS crisis, it has been instrumental in fostering community, amplifying voices, and advocating for equality and acceptance.
In this episode, Bev (@itsbevbitch), Philadelphia’s very own Queen of Comedy, joins us to share her experiences as a fabulous drag performer and how drag continues to intersect activism while pushing back against anti-drag legislation.
