QUEER NEWS THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE

It can seem sometimes like all the news these days is bad. We won’t deny there’s a lot of troubling things going on, including a rise in hate crimes. But it’s not all terrible out there! We want to do our best to highlight good news, because while it may seem like the world is filled with hate, there are many individuals who are living their best lives with a rainbow in their heart.

This week’s good news involves a drag show in Pittsburgh.

Police raided Pittsburgh’s LGBTQ+ venue P Town Bar recently during a drag event, ordering patrons to leave without offering any explanation beyond calling it a “compliance check.” Undeterred, the crowd of performers and attendees took to the street, turning the moment into a spontaneous public performance and refusing to let the raid dim their spirit.

QBurgh called the moment one of “resistance, solidarity, and improvisational beauty,” emphasizing that it “reminded everyone there that drag isn’t just entertainment, it’s political. And when the music stops, the queens don’t.”
