Must be so real with y’all: I do not like the government right now. Seems to me they’re a little more interested in suppressing anyone who threatens their insane heterodoxy of pseudoscience & cruelty than providing, like, support for us citizens. Yet still the queer urge to enjoy life persists, as evidenced by all the progressive Texan nonprofits banded together in this show’s “presented by” line. You’ve got Democrasexy, URGE TX, TENT, Equality Texas, Texas Freedom Network, and ACLU TX bringing a night filled not just by stellar spins by DJ Ed West behind the decks and dazzling drag from local icons Alexander the Great, Iggy Bank, Yvonna F Mei, Bobby Pudrido, and Best of Austin winner Brigitte Bandit, but also a little education, too. That’s right: Brigitte’ll also present a Texas Lege 101 panel – with an ASL interpreter. Guess we gays have beauty AND brains. – James Scott
