"Elvis Presley, Ava Gardner, Édith Piaf, Maria Callas and Marlene Dietrich all flocked to the cabaret, drawn to the allure of performers labeled 'travestis.' The stars sought out the Carrousel to flirt with postwar Paris’s wild side. It was an intoxicating contradiction: cross-dressing was criminalized, yet the venue was packed with celebrities."

While picking my lunch up at the local food-truck pod/event center in my little town today, noticed a sign that the upcoming drag show there is already sold out. Thought occurred to me that drag performances might be serving as a rallying point for the LGBTQ+ communities, especially in smaller places without gay bars or other gathering spots. Anybody have any thoughts or experiences here? My thought is based on no information at all, but it would be cool. #drag #lgbtq #TransRights

The Eleventh Circuit just affirmed the injunction against #Florida's state #ban prohibiting minors from attending #drag performances in the #HamburgerMarys case

Tickets zu verschenken!

Ich habe am Samstag bei einer Rubbellos-Aktion zwei Freikarten für die nächste "Yours Truly"-Drag-Show in Düsseldorf gewonnen und möchte diese gerne weitergeben an Menschen, die sich den Eintritt sonst eher nicht leisten können (bevorzugt junge Queers und Angehörige anderer marginalisierter Gruppen).

Eine Begründung ist nicht nötig, eure finanziellen Verhältnisse gehen ja niemanden etwas an. Schreibt mir einfach eine kurze Privatnachrichten und ich lasse dann den Zufall entscheiden, wer die Tickets bekommt.

Mehr Infos zu den Shows gibt es hier: https://yourstruly.gay

Some very interesting history I learned recently from a book I'm reading ... the first #zine/pamphlet offering safer sex info for gay men was distributed by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in 1982.

It's so important to think about ways we can provide info for each other under suppression. https://www.poz.com/article/sisters-doin
