QUEENS SUPPORTING QUEENS: WDDI CELEBRATES PRIDE
In 2017, Friends With Benefits decided it was time to extend our reach to a community that does profound work for our community, but receives little praise or support. Thus, We Denton Drag It was born. Every year in June, also known as Pride Month, our team comes together in partnership with a local venue and several DFW-based performance organizations to put on one of the greatest Pride variety shows Denton has seen to date. With performers from across the region and often the state as well, we celebrate our LGBTIQA+ community and raise support for local organizations, such as OUTreach Denton. It is our hope that through our celebrations of all walks of life, we will be able to shed more light on the hard work and beauty coming from this eclectic community.
WITH PAST HEADLINERS SUCH AS Trinity the tuck, SHARON NEEDLES, VIOLET CHACHKI, MISS PEPPERMINT, THORGY THOR & Ginger Minj FROM RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE, WE DENTON DRAG IT IS A ONE OF A KIND DENTON EVENT.

About the beneficiaries:
LGBT National Help Center
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) National Help Center, founded in 1996, is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that provides vital peer support, community connections, and resource information through helplines and online chatrooms. Their services focus on sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression. They are the oldest and most comprehensive national organization of its type and scope in the United States, providing critically needed services regardless of age or geographic location.
They help youth and adults with coming-out issues, safer-sex information, school bullying, family concerns, relationship problems, and a lot more. The people who turn to this organization for help often live in rural and conservative parts of the country and are frequently feeling severely isolated, closeted and in despair, with literally no one else safe to talk to.
