Sa Truth-Bomb — You Shouldn’T Miss Pride This Year Live Your Truth: Here’s a truth-bomb — you shouldn’t miss Pride this year Pride returns to PVD this June 15 and it promises to be more energetic than ever! The theme of this year’s celebration of the LGBTQ community is Live Your Truth. “The ​Live Your Truth ​theme for 2019 reflects what’s at the heart of Pride: an opportunity to be exactly who you are, out in the open,” explained Joe Lazzerini, president of RI Pride. “The ​Live Your Truth ​ theme simultaneously celebrates the numerous different genders, skin colors, sexual orientations, ages, races, religions, physical and mental abilities, national origins, and ethnicities (among many other factors) that make each of us who we are.” The main event, the street carnival Pride Fest, is being billed as the biggest yet, with more than 200 food, beer and craft vendors set to descend on the city’s downtown for an unrivalled celebration of love, art and equality. A rally and speaking program will take place at 3pm commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall. The main stage will be hosted by local celebrity ​Lulu Locks​, comedian ​John Kelley​ and local drag performers ​Annie B. Frank, Kira Stone ​and ​Complete Destruction.​ The stage will feature New England based gay dance party guru ​DJ Ephraim Adamz​. The mainstage will feature headlining acts ​Alaska 5000 ​and ​Adore Delano ​from “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 2 and Monique Heart ​and ​Jasmine Masters​ from “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” Season 4 alongside popular drag king ​Spikey Van Dykey​. From New York City, ​Brian Faltudo​, best known from his role in School of Rock will grace the stage performing songs off of his new album. Local high energy dance rock acts ​Jodi Jolt and The Volt ​and ​the Mary Day Band ​will also appear on the main stage along with other acts representing various genres and local performers. And stick around, because when the sun goes down, New England’s only illuminated nighttime Pride parade will dazzle onlookers with a pageant of floats, marching groups and performing artists. The parade begins on Dorrance Street and continues down Washington Street, then Empire street and ends on Weybosset Street. A new accessible viewing area will be set up at the corner of Empire and Weybosset Street for anyone with wheelchairs or who would like a place to sit. One of The Parade Grand Marshals is Justice Ameer Gaines, a well-known community organizer, activist and accomplished poet who self-identifies as a black trans woman and gender fluid. She currently serves as the Queer Justice Coordinator for Providence Youth Student Movement (PrYSM). Also serving as a Grand Marshal is the Providence Student Union, a non-profit group of high school student chapters that work to raise up student voices and give young people the chance to shape their schools and futures. The Honorary Parade Marshals are Chris Harris, who was an award-winning event producer, premier concert promoter, accomplished business owner and community organizer, and Belle Pellegrino. In 1976, Pellegrino helped lead the fight for the first Pride Parade to take place in PVD as part of the original 76ers. When the city denied the permits, she fought back — in court — and won. Pellegrino was involved with many community organizations, volunteered as an EMT, served as a pastor and Emperor 16 and 24 of the Imperial Court of Rhode ​Island. Concerned about getting the post-Pride blues? Worry not, because The Official Rhode Island Pride Drag Brunch will be held at The Graduate Providence on Sunday, June 16 from 11am. Email reservations requests to [email protected]. Four locations featuring local LGBTQ artists will be open to the public free of charge for the month of June. The gallery space at 2 Charles St features a Hall of Flags in addition to the artwork. Works can be viewed in the City Services office at Providence City Hall, the main corridors at the Providence Marriott Downtown on Orms Street and Sprout CoWorking Gallery at Rising Sun Mill on Valley St. A special “Gayllery Night” Tour will take place on June 20, complete with trolleys.

Drag Race continues to become more profitable and successful by the year and arguably shapes cultural ideas of queer performances in manifold ways. This project investigates the impacts of exploitative labour practices that emerge from the show, the commodification of drag when represented on screen, and how the show influences drag and queer performances off screen.

  • Emotion, Femininity and Everyday Experience
    Emotion, Femininity and Everyday Experience Straight Female Audience’s Perception of RuPaul’s Drag Race Student name: Yoshino Akizuki Student number: 509330 Supervisor: Balázs Boross Master Arts, Culture and Society Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master Thesis June 14, 2019 ABSTRACT An American reality TV program RuPaul’s Drag Race, in which drag queens compete with each other to be “America’s Next Drag Superstar,” has earned tremendous hit since it was first broadcast in 2009. Although Drag Race started as a niche program featuring drag queens and targeted only at the LGBTQ community, it is becoming a world-wide phenomenon in mainstream popular culture. Especially, straight female audiences have become a large percentage of the audience. However, why are straight women, who have not necessarily had a connection with drag culture, enthusiastic about Drag Race? Previous research on Drag Race are mainly textual analysis addressing particular issues such as race and ethnicity, social class, body shape and femininity (Darnell and Tabatabai, 2017; Edgar, 2011; Goldmark, 2015; LeMaster, 2015; Strings & Bui, 2014; Vesey, 2017). However, they lack the perspective of actual audience. And therefore, they do not explain the popularity among straight female audience. Since the audience of Drag Race has become increasingly diverse, different audiences interpret the contents differently. As Alasuutari (1999) explains using Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model, intended message from producers is not always received “correctly” by audiences. Therefore, it is significant to take into account the perspective of the audience. Furthermore, as Bird (2003) suggests audiences critically and actively interpret the message and put them in the context of everyday experience, we should closely examine the process of meaning-making.

  • 1 Rupaul's Drag Race and the Toronto Drag Scene Russ Martin
    1 RuPaul’s Drag Race and the Toronto Drag Scene Russ Martin, Bachelor of Journalism Popular Culture Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Social Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2020 2 For the drag artists who taught me to re-think gender. 3 Abstract The debut of the television show RuPaul’s Drag Race (Barbato, Bailey, and Charles) in 2009 marked the start of a new drag boom. The program’s commercial success throughout the 2010s brought drag performance into the mainstream cultural arena, prompting a host of effects on the historically grassroots culture of drag. This thesis project explores the show’s impact on one particular geographic community, the Toronto drag scene, which has been active in some capacity for at least 70 years. This ethnographic study is drawn from a year and a half in the field in the Toronto drag scene and a series of semi-structured interivews with nine research participations who took part in the 2018 edition of the Toronto-based drag pageant Crews and Tangos Drag Race. Using this group as a case study, this thesis demonstrates how Drag Race has influenced both the politics and aesthetics of the Toronto drag scene. Drawing from scholar Will Straw’s work on scene theory, I argue Drag Race now acts as global drag culture’s dominant system of articulation (Systems 369) and that it not only dictates trends in drag, but also provides the contemporary drag fan a rubric for understanding drag’s cultural meaning.

  • Revisitando O Estereótipo Da Angry Black Woman Em Rupaul's Drag
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação 42º Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Belém - PA – 2 a 7/09/2019 I’m just here to fight: Revisitando o estereótipo da angry black woman em RuPaul’s Drag Race1 Matheus BIBIANO2 Caio MELO DA SILVA3 Fábio FREITAS4 Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, RJ. Resumo O artigo propõe reflexões acerca dos estereótipos raciais construídos em narrativas de reality shows, utilizando a 10ª temporada de RuPaul’s Drag Race como objeto de análise na construção dos arcos apresentados, a partir da interação entre as suas participantes. Para tanto, contextualizamos o formato do programa e como ele se articula para prender sua audiência com a rotulação de personalidades, criando uma história ao longo da temporada. Neste cenário, buscamos entender as questões raciais abordadas durante o programa e como elas são tratadas pelas competidoras da edição. Palavras-chave: reality show; rupaul’s drag race; estereótipo; representação racial. INTRODUÇÃO Ao pensarmos em cenários que buscam o acolhimento e exaltação de comunidades marginalizadas à sociedade, podemos ter a breve impressão de que este será um ambiente livre de preconceitos e que problemas sociais serão reivindicados da mesma forma. Porém, neste artigo, tomaremos como objeto um dos principais responsáveis pelo aumento de visibilidade da cena drag5 no mundo, o reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race, para analisar a manutenção de estereótipos raciais desenvolvidos a partir da estrutura narrativa criada para suas competidoras, e como isso é desenvolvido nas discussões que ocorreram ao longo da 10ª temporada. Para isso, iremos considerar o programa principal e sua extensão, o Untucked, ambos de suma importância para entendermos o desenvolvimento narrativo ao decorrer da edição.

Tufts Democrats released a peti- tion last week calling on the university to rescind an honorary degree given to Missouri Governor Eric Greitens in 2012 in response to recent allegations of sexual assault against him. The peti- tion also called on Greitens to resign. Greitens also spoke at Tufts’ com- mencement in 2012, receiving a doctor of humane letters at the ceremony.

The allegations against Greitens, which KMOV-4 St. Louis first reported on as an extramarital affair in January, refer to events during the 2016 gubernatorial election season in Missouri.
