RACE TALKS: Uniting to Break the Chains of Racism – Portland, Ore.
This one-night event features an all-star panel of local drag queens including fabulous drag performances, candid discussion, pre-and post show dancing with local DJs. We began this special forum in an effort to hold space for BIPOC folx in Portland during Pride; and close the gap of miseducation and intolerance between our BIPOC and QTBIPOC communities. In our first year, we emphasized QTBIPOC and BIPOC in-person attendance because there are few Pride events that are centered around Black and brown queer folx in Portland. Given the positive feedback we received from the past four years, and the heightened ignorance and attacks on the Black, Trans, and Drag communities throughout our country, we are continuing this annual celebratory event. Please join us!
