Want to have some fun while also supporting a good cause? Attend the 9th annual Rainbow Alliance Drag Show, hosted by Amaya Sexton. Women will dress up as “drag kings” and men will dress up as “drag queens” and perform a lip-synched routine to a song of their choice.
Rainbow Alliance President Andy Macy encourages people to come relax and enjoy the show. ”It’s a fun and also a serious event to raise awareness for drag shows in general and let people know that just because we dress differently, doesn’t mean we’re any different from other people.”
The Rainbow Alliance Organization has accomplished many things this year and hopes to do more. “I think the biggest thing we did was establish ourselves, people know a little more about us which was the big goal. We created a traditional event with the NOH8 photo shoot, we’re hoping to make it a bigger event; the transition to semesters will help give us more time to plan things. Overall we’ve raised awareness about ourselves all over campus.” (who said this quote?)
This event is just one of many to kick off Sex Week. On Monday there will be a HIV/STI presentation and testing, on Tuesday there will be a Sex Social with games, on Wednesday a sex speaker will talk about kinks and fetishes, on Thursday there will be a Who’s Your Daddy game, and then finally Friday will be the Drag Show.
The show will be held on May 4th at 8:00-11:00 pm in the Apollo Room. The cost is $5 at the door, with all proceeds going to the AIDS Resource Center Ohio. The event is open to the public. The first portion of the show will be a comedy act, with games during the break. There will be snacks offered.
