“It impacts the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone wants to be empowered. Everyone wants to feel like they have a purpose and I feel like drag helps that. It helps me feel empowered. It’s representation, it’s important, it’s a welcoming environment.” - Dominica Loperena, City College student

“Drag has the ability to allow folks to explore facets of themselves where they may or may not feel comfortable doing so, to really discover and tap into these pieces that are already within you. Drag is a community connection. Its joy, its euphoria, and for me, thats excellence. Being able to live within your truth and unapologetically experience joy is excellence and drag embodies that.” - Tay Richardson, community member

“Drag as a whole is seen as wrong. Drag performance like this, it really shows, (transgender individuals are) not anything to be feared of. (Transgender individuals are) not anything besides just regular human beings living their truth. I’m in full support of it, I love it. I hope it continues on.” - Jonathan Gonzalez, City College biology major

“I think it’s good (transgender individuals are) connecting with their true selves, doing what they’re most comfortable with. I’m showing them that I’m here to support them.” - Arianna Martinez Cabral, City College nutrition major

“Drag is a way that transness can get out there. A lot of people don’t accept transness but a lot of people accept drag, which isn’t (good). It’s a form of gender expression. It helps trans youth see themselves.” -Raya Lee Teggin, City College ASL major
