RuCo Pride is sad to learn of the death of another q***r icon, Tim Curry. His contributions to LGBTQIA+ culture will always be remembered and cherished.

RuCo Pride is sad to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton today. Dolly was the definition of a q***r icon, and her unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community will forever be a light. Rest in peace, Dolly.

*****UPDATE*****

RuCo Pride has confirmed that charges in this case were dropped. Austin, aka Diesel Khaos, has been reinstated as our reigning king, with full status and privileges. We will not have any further comment or update on this matter.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 4, 2026

We are aware that Austin Swanson, who performs with us as our reigning Drag King, was recently arrested on a domestic-related charge. They are not a board member or staff member of our organization, but an ambassador.

We take domestic violence seriously and also believe in due process. The facts of this case are not yet fully known, and we will not be speculating. We are pausing their appearances with us and reviewing the situation while the legal process moves forward. We will share updates as appropriate.

Any further questions can be directed to [email protected].

If you or someone you know needs support, the National DV Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.
