Austin Drag Queen Teaches Texas Politics

All Texans should know their rights.

Texans Should Fight For Their Rights

The more Texans that are aware of their rights, the better. I think it should be a true Texas tradition for every single person in the Lone Star State to be treated equally and with respect. Right now, so many Texas politicians are punching down, that it's high time someone smacks them right in the kisser with a fist made of facts. This fist this time belongs to Bridgette Bandit.

Texas Drag Queen Rocks The Stage With Politics

Bridgette turns the stage of a gay dance club into a lecture hall once a week with an event called "LegisSLAYtion & Liberation". Current events in Texas and items of concern for the LGBTQ+ community are discussed and pointers are given on how to get involved. This is exactly the kind of grass-roots activism that everyone should be cheering for.

Texas Can Use This Drag Queen As Inspiration

At this point, let's pause for a quote from Maya Angelou:

The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.

The fact is that you probably belong to some group that could use a little advocacy. You might be really young, really old, a different ethnicity, differently abled, or part of a marginalized group. People like Bridgette Bandit step up to the plate and help break down the barriers that keep people from stepping forward and standing up for themselves.

Texans Can See For Themselves

In case you're in Austin and you'd like to experience the LegisSLAYtion & Liberation talks, you can find Bridgette Bandit Tuesday nights 7-9 at 211 West 4th street at Oilcan Harry's.
