They Danced, They Dazzled, They Disappeared: The Lost Era of Queer Joy in America

This LGBTQ History Month, let’s remember when queerness ruled the stage... and why it was silenced. A forgotten drag revolution in 1930. A warning from history. A love letter to queer joy.

My husband, Waymon Hudson, has been very busy this year. He has finished writing a book and a musical (the music is amazing). I encourage you to read all about the great things he has done and is doing. Here are the details on his Substack page: open.substack.com/pub/waymonhu...

I’m Finally Launching! Here’s What I’ve Been Building.

I wrote a memoir. I wrote a musical. I built a life in the jungle. Now I’m launching it all — and I’d love to have you along for the ride.
