Before the Parade a service to all things Drag
Texas Senate Bill 12 — better known as “the drag ban” — is
temporarily on hold as it awaits a full court hearing, the legal threat to people who perform drag still hangs over us. On Sunday,
Sept. 17, Cathedral of Hope will be blessing drag performers at its 10 a.m. service. Security will be tight, according to the Rev. Neil Thomas, because of expected threats.
The church is holding the event in a response to the Texas
lawmakers fabrications about drag performers and their entertainment and art.
We are definitely looking forward to this special service as we take a moment to thank and bless our drag queens in the region who are being targeted by SB12, a new law that puts them and their art at risk. Drag is not a crime.
Pre-Party at Hamburger Mary’s – Come out and see more drag at the newly opened spot where Cedar Springs Tap House used to be.
