Dragging Transphobia

18MR x Persuasians

We’re teaming up with Persuasians, the first Asian drag house from the South, along with drag performers in Texas to celebrate trans liberation. Join us for a virtual drag night of celebration and FUN-raising for The Knights & Orchids Society: Dragging Transphobia!

Hosted by the beautiful and infamous Mx. SHI of Persuasians, Dragging Transphobia will include performers hailing from Georgia and Texas, including: Scarlet Vixen, Al Schlong, Jawan Chokra, Dust Bunny, Miss He, and Tucker Bleu.

100% of proceeds will go directly to The TKO Society, a rad Black & queer-led organization based in Alabama. They build the power of TLGB+ Black people across the South by providing a spectrum of health and wellness services and reproductive care. Let’s dance for liberation together.
