International Drag Day was celebrated Wednesday night at the World of Wonder Gallery in Hollywood.
As guests enjoyed the festivities, which featured cupcakes as well as “RuPaul’s Drag Race” merch and cocktails, the evening’s performers — Jiggly Caliente, Pangina Heals and Nicky Doll — addressed political attacks against drag performers.
On Monday, Ohio representatives Josh Williams (R-Sylvania) and Angela King (R-Celina) introduced a bill at their statehouse that would ban “adult cabaret performances” that showcase “entertainers who exhibit a gender identity that is different from the performers’ or entertainers’ gender assigned at birth” in all locations outside of nightclubs or bars. The bill is the latest anti-drag motion to follow after Tennessee’s anti-drag show law, which was deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge in June. Measures have also been filed, with varying levels of success, in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, and Idaho.

With the way things are going, AMC’s The Walking Dead is about to outlive us all.
Currently on the verge of its ninth season, the hit zombie drama has undoubtedly grown into a lucrative flagship for the network, even spawning its own spinoff series (read: Fear The Walking Dead) in the process.
Next month’s batch of episodes is a crucial one, too, as it’ll signal the curtain call for both Rick Grimes and Maggie Rhee, two series stalwarts who have helped shape the tone and direction of The Walking Dead from the very beginning. It’s the end of an era, then, but according to AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan, there are still plenty more stories to tell within the Twd universe – ten years’ worth, in fact.
The Walking Dead is a universe… and we have a plan to manage over the next decade, plus. That plan...
