remembers being in Nashville at a queer event not long after Tennesse Gov. Bill Lee introduced anti-LGBTQ legislation, including unprecedented bans on drag performances.. “It struck me there…that even in the midst of this legislation being passed, [the] event was filled with joy, smiling, laughing, crying, dancing and singing.”
“I think a lot [of the attacks] come from fear,” the 34-year-old Los Angeles-based artist said. “It’s this fear of the unknown, or something you don’t understand. They want it to not exist, to completely invalidate queer people.”
