Dupont Underground & the Washington Blade Newspaper present:

Drag Underground: National Coming Out Day Edition!

Whether you're lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, be proud of who you are!

In order to honor the roots of drag in America authentically we are celebrating the power, pride, and leadership that define the drag community.

National Coming Out Day was founded in 1988 by Richard Eichberg, a psychologist and Jean O'Leary, a gay rights activist, to raise awareness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community and its civil rights movement. They chose October 11th to mark the anniversary of the second major National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, which took place 1987. With estimates of half a million people participating, it was nearly five times the size of the first march in 1979. National Coming Out Day is observed throughout the U.S. and other countries around the world.

Our professional performers for the night:

Shi-Queeta-Lee Sasha Sanchez
