Joey Baker, knows as Drag Queen InertiaTM is excited to see PRIDE expand to Bentonville. “The month long celebration has mainly been in Fayetteville since NWA began celebrating PRIDE in June. I think it is absolutely crucial and vital to our community to start expanding that…I am blown away at the response of non-profit organizations who wanted to be included in this. It shows my community that not only do we have allies, but also resources that may have not been known of. This event is ground-breaking and long overdue.” Stacy Seger, Development Director for the NWA Women’s Shelter says “our passion for this event comes out of our core belief that ALL people deserve to live lives free from violence and assault.

We have a place for you.” The Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter provides emergency shelter as well as counseling, legal, and advocacy services to all survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault.

    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Jon Pushkin, 303-733-3441, [email protected] www.glbtcolorado.org/pridefest GLBT Community Center of Colorado Celebrates Activism at 43rd Annual Denver PrideFest, June 16-17 -Festival expected to draw more than 350,000 to Civic Center Park - Denver, CO— June 6, 2018 - The GLBT Community Center of Colorado is issuing a call to action at this year’s annual Denver PrideFest celebration with the theme, Say it Loud, Say it Proud. The festival will celebrate empowerment and honor the activism of Charlie Craig and David Mullins, the couple who took a case against a Lakewood baker who refused to make their wedding cake all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 2, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the baker. The duo spent the last five years vocally advocating for fair and equal access for the LGBT community, and will serve as the grand marshals of the 2018 Coors Light PrideFest Parade. “Charlie and David have endured an incredible battle standing up for their civil rights. We wanted to recognize their determination and acknowledge that this year has been a year of activism on many fronts, for many people,” Debra Pollock, CEO of The GLBT Community Center of Colorado (The Center), which hosts Denver PrideFest. The Say it Loud, Say it Proud theme was chosen by community members who voted on the theme from three options proposed by the Denver PrideFest Committee. “Our community is strongest when we’re the loudest, when we come together and speak with many voices,” said Craig.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 © Copyright by Carl Douglas Schottmiller 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading RuPaul’s Drag Race: Queer Memory, Camp Capitalism, and RuPaul’s Drag Empire by Carl Douglas Schottmiller Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor David H Gere, Chair This dissertation undertakes an interdisciplinary study of the competitive reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, drawing upon approaches and perspectives from LGBT Studies, Media Studies, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, and Performance Studies. Hosted by veteran drag performer RuPaul, Drag Race features drag queen entertainers vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Since premiering in 2009, the show has become a queer cultural phenomenon that successfully commodifies and markets Camp and drag performance to television audiences at heretofore unprecedented levels. Over its nine seasons, the show has provided more than 100 drag queen artists with a platform to showcase their talents, and the Drag Race franchise has expanded to include multiple television series and interactive live events. The RuPaul’s Drag Race phenomenon provides researchers with invaluable opportunities not only to consider the function of drag in the 21st Century, but also to explore the cultural and economic ramifications of this reality television franchise. ii While most scholars analyze RuPaul’s Drag Race primarily through content analysis of the aired television episodes, this dissertation combines content analysis with ethnography in order to connect the television show to tangible practices among fans and effects within drag communities.

    2020 IMPACT REPORT LOOKING BACK AT AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR In September 2019, when I formally launched Drag Out The VoteTM, my goal was to mobilize drag artists across the country to register, educate and turn out voters for the 2020 election. I was driven by learning that 100 million people didn’t vote in the 2016 election and that one out of five LGBTQ+ people were not registered to vote. This had to change. I had big goals of registering voters on stops Jackie Huba for the biggest drag tours.
