Ha ha. Well. To put things politely, Texas is a real hard place to be transgender right now. Not that it’s personally hard, given that trans people rule, cis people drool, etc., but like logistically: How come they keep making the paperwork different? Anyway, the cool cats over at Local Queer ATX have made a few moves and have now established the Local Queer Foundation, a nonprofit specifically made to help “the most marginalized of our community.” As is often the case in matters of queerness, their first act is throwing a benefit drag brunch. Alexander the Great hosts with a stacked lineup of local trans performers, plus tunes by DJ Boyfriend ATX and eats from Urban Cowboy Catering, aka the first trans chef featured on the Food Network. Drop in, have fun, and help trans folks feel a little safer in the Lone Star State. – James Scott
