MORE PRIDE POSTIVES

Even in these times, if you look, we can still see good things going on and happening. Take last week. President Dump and the Kennedy Center, which is sadly becoming a MAGA bastion, may not want creative art or drag queens, but got them anyway. As the dump attended a performance of Les Miserables at the venue last Wednesday night, DC drag royalty Tara Hoot, Vagenesis, Mari Con Carne and drag king Ricky Rose also attended the show, and mind you in formal regalia.

 Mari Con Carne said knowing he would be there made their attendance all the more crucial. I say kudos to them!!!! It took balls, bravery and courage to do this with the likes of Vance, Bondi, Kennedy and Jim Jordan there. The best part was as the group entered the theater, the crowd greeted them with cheers and applause....a much warmer reception then the dump, First Lady and the second couple got, who were loudly booed once their presence was known. Tara Hoot is greatly known for her fun, comedic shows, and has been having legendary story hours for over two years now. Her last name suits her perfectly. And anyone else notice how much better dressed and formal the queens are then the regular theatre goers and the first couple??? Mari looks far more elegant then the First Lady.

       

In other good news I love this one too.

Yet again after Go-Go DeSantis issued the order that cities in Florida are only allowed to light bridges in red ,white and blue lights, Jacksonville LGBTQ activists took the matter into their own hands this year. Since they couldn't have permanent lights to light the bridge....they lit up the iconic Acosta Bridge with handheld lights!!! HA!

Miss Mahogany Empress, our satellite correspondent sent me this yesterday. A shot she had taken from a hotel walkway overlooking City Hall for the No Kings Protest. Mind you, this was according to her, the tail end. It extended from here, west for the next 20 long blocks to the art museum.

And the clan and I had a great time at the No Kings protest in Harrisburg with our statement signs and our matching All Stars.

And my sign was a hit. It read- This Queen doesn't need a King!

The good news...I think I found a tee shirt company to make this. If anyone is interested, email me a size and I will increase my order. I plan to wear it for the next two Pride events if it's here in time.!

The movement continues!

ADORE WINTOUR & NO KINGS

Whether people love or hate Anna Wintour,  I have long been a fan. And as if I needed another reason to adore her...

 

And now we are ready for our No King's Rally starting on City Island with a march and protest. My sign in ready.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Another pretty, if not cooler weekend, but that didn't stop I and some others in attending our own local Hands Off Protest in downtown Harrisburg yesterday. On Saturday in towns and cities in all 50 states, protesters took to the streets to express their opposition to our Great Dump, Elonia Musk and the never-ending transgressions of the awful second term of the great buffoon and his administration- as well as to show support for our neighbors that are federal workers, immigrants, the LGBTQ and numerous other groups and causes now being targeted by the government. The hands off protest were now the largest act of defiance yet against the Dump and comes after a particularly tumultuous week in which the great ass single-handedly destabilized the US economy. This was the second such protest I attended in Harrisburg and the event had almost tripled in size since the last one. The crowd was in front of the grand capitol building, and poured out onto Third street, making police shut down third street, while a march of people also encircled the whole of the capital complex and state museum. While myself and several of the clan protested here, our New York clan gang was doing the same in NYC. Now is not the time to sit and squander, but to get involved, show our discontent. It was great being able to visibly show our discontent orderly, while being with like-minded people to experience the caring, the anger, and the "Power to the People" which was being chanted over and over. And all protest groups were present... pro-Palestine, immigrant support groups, woman and abortion groups, LGBTQ, BLM, and a few Mexican groups All joined as one. It was amazing. And these groups and protest must grow, and we must be present. 

My own sign.

It was a great day and felt good. Afterwards we all want to happy hour, with some new friends and then had a delicious dinner at Dodge City.
