1,000 drag queens will 'welcome' Trump to London when he visits
By Ron Johnson · Tuesday, May 1, 2018
Queen Elizabeth won’t the only queen greeting Donald Trump when he visits the U.K. in July.
A thousand people have signed onto a Facebook invitation for a drag-queen protest to greet the president in London on July 13. Another nearly 7,000 people are interested in attending.
Manchester drag performer Cheddar Gorgeous and four other performers have issued the call to all drag kings, queens, queers and our allies.
“Due to the appalling way the Trump administration has regarded the rights and welfare of the LGBTQI communities in the U.S., the idea of a Trump visit to the U.K. is unacceptable,” the invitation says. “Let’s get visible, stand with our sisters, brothers and others in America.”
Gorgeous also spread the word through an April 30 guest column in the Guardian newspaper. She and her group — Violet Blonde, Liquorice Black, Anna Phylactic and Jonny Banks — are making plans to meet in a central location and join the main protest against Trump.
