QTPOC DRAG
HISTORY
RuPaul's Drag Race and Pose are the latest flashes in a long line of QTPOC/Drag/Vogue History. Learn here about how the first Queen of Drag was a formerly enslaved Black person named William Dorsey Swan. And how Swan was also the first known American activist to lead a queer resistance group - long before Stonewall. Learn here about the deep history ball culture beyond Paris is burning. And here about the long history of voguing and ball culture. And keep learning about the deep contributions of QTPOC history.

DRAG TIPS!
In general, the first rule of Drag Shows is ‘make sure you tip your Queens.” Unfortunately, due to University rules, the audience can’t hand tips our performers tonight. But even if you can’t throw cash, you can still show your appreciation and enthusiasm for them in so many ways - Cheer, Clap, Wave your fans, Swish around your ribbons and your bodies and support them through their link below. Drag Shows and Vogue Balls are meant to be participatory.Get involved in whatever way feels good to you!
