Drag March NYC

I had the best time ever at the 27th Annual New York City - Drag March  on June 25th 2021.  The March begins with a gathering and ritual in Thompkins Square Park in Lower Manhattan's East Village and proceeds West to the site of The Stonewall Inn, where a rebellion against police harassment started the birth of the modern LGBT Civil Rights movement on June 27, 1969.  The March also celebrates the culture of Drag and Gender non-conformity.  And it honors the brave and fierce Drag Queens and Transgenders who were the first to stand up to the police.  

I had a wonderful time with all my Drag, Trans, Gay, Lesbian, Straight allies and Performance Art friends including members of the Radical Faeries, Cross-Dressers Internatinal and the NYC Disorder of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence!  This year the Drag March honored my dear friend Rollerina, has been a famous and beloved Drag personality (originally on Roller Skates) since the 1960s,  Rollerina led the march with pride in a pedal cab!
