✍️ @jakeyhogue32 By definition, Terry was a new queen, but unlike many of the performers around her, drag was not just an act—it was a gateway to the woman she had always known herself to be. The pageant helped cultivate a vibrant patronage of female impersonators, creating a close-knit drag subculture that offered both camaraderie and competition. ⁠
⁠
Terry had never performed before, but she had spent countless hours in her tiny apartment perfecting every movement—the graceful sway of her hips, the poised flick of her wrist, the sultry arch of her brows. Back then, female impersonators were expected to sing live. Dressed in her favorite gown, Terry was the most beautiful person in the room. 🔗 Read the full story with the link in our bio.

What a moment for Queer Kentucky!

✨ What a moment for Queer Kentucky! ✨⁠
⁠
At the end of March, the Queer Kentucky team attended the 36th GLAAD Media Awards @glaad in Los Angeles, celebrating fair and inclusive representation of the LGBTQ+ community across media.⁠
⁠
Why? Because we received our first-ever nomination for Best Print Article, written by our very own founder and editor-in-chief, Spencer Jenkins.⁠
⁠
The night was filled with inspiring speeches, Queer joy, and incredible talent. Among the star-studded attendees were the cast of Hacks, icons from RuPaul's Drag Race 👑, Doechii, Lil Nas X, and Cynthia Erivo⁠
⁠
This milestone isn’t just ours to celebrate but a win for all of us working to amplify Queer voices. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Last Friday, RuPaul eliminated flapper queen Suzie

Last Friday, RuPaul eliminated flapper queen Suzie Toot, narrowing the competition to four finalists in the Season 17 finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race—including Kentucky’s own Lexi Love.⁠
⁠
Love, PLAY Louisville’s “Roller-Derby Doll” playmate, is competing for the coveted title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and a grand prize of $200,000.⁠
⁠
Throughout the competition Love has served look after look while also opening up about her personal struggles with addiction and homelessness. As the oldest queen on the show at 34, Love has earned the nickname “Auntie” from her fellow contestants and quickly became a fan favorite.⁠
⁠
The queens Love will compete against in the finale are Sam Starr, Onya Nerve, and Jewels Sparkles. The finale will air on Friday, April 18 at 8 p.m. on MTV.

✍️ @19thnews A federal move to withhold 16 family planning grants across 22 states could undercut access to basic reproductive health care — including cancer screenings, testing for sexually transmitted infections and contraception. The impact will likely be felt hardest in states with conservative leadership, which include some of the poorest states in the country. 🔗 Read the full story with the link in our bio.
