Community drag show packs Pioneer Courthouse Square to protest anti-LGBTQ+ legislation
Hundreds gathered under high flying rainbow flags in a sunny Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown Portland Saturday for “Expressions: A Celebration of Drag and Transgender Rights.” The free community drag show was held in response to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the United States.
The event featured more than 15 performers and speakers, including Mx. Dahlia Belle, Flawless Shade and Bolivia Carmichaels.
The event raised funds for OutMemphis, a Memphis-based nonprofit that supports LGBTQ+ people in that area. Last March, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a bill that blocked drag performances on public property and where minors could be present. Several weeks later a judge temporarily blocked that law.
The show was organized by The Trans and Drag Freedom Initiative in partnership with Mx. Dahlia Belle, Portland Queer Caucus, Demand Drag and Klip Klop Productions.
