If you haven't already, mark your calendars everyone!

Join us at The Cruisery on 8/15 at 12 pm for our Drag Brunch Benefit Show as we raise 20k for our local trans community. An anonymous donor put up 10k and so we're hosting a donation matching fundraiser. The event will be hosted by our very own Deja Re with drag performances by Bearded Gotti, Kyra Jete and pandoramystere ! Enjoy brunch, drag while we celebrate and support our vibrant trans community.

A special thanks to Kai Tilley Roldan for putting together a new flyer for us!
