Maybe you’ll be as wow-ed as I was by this portrait of queer icon Agosto Machado, the latest addition to the Legends of Drag archive and published on Wussy. And the interview article by co-creators Harry James Hanson and Devin Antheus moved me to misty-eyed reverence and admiration for this Downtown NYC legend. I met Agosto when she was honored guest at the NYC AIDS Memorial‘s Legends of Drag Revue honoring Pride Month and HIV/AIDS Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day. I felt humbled in her presence…as if I were meeting an ancient deity spirit. And that was before I’d seen the installation she and Devin Antheus had created in the reflecting fountain at NYC AIDS Memorial Park. Her 1960s desire was to “liberate everyone.” And she had no qualms about asserting her difference to that end. And what joy to learn that the downtown queens always felt safe around the Hell’s Angels.Don’t miss chance to be immersed in Agosto the artist, the mystic, the Warhol star, and the truest of friends. 📸 Harry James Hanson🌺 Devin Antheus #agostomachado #legendsofdrag WUSSY MAG #draglegend #dragicon #dragroyalty #draghistory #queerhistory #lgbtqhistory 👑

Here’s some very GOOD new that didn’t get much attention over the weekend. "Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear." ~Federal District Court Judge Robert Hinkle That’s what Hinkle wrote in his decision Thursday, upholding a permanent ruling in Florida last month that BLOCKED RESTRICTING ACCESS to gender-affirming care for trans adults and completely banned care for transgender minors. Here’s what else he wrote:“Some legislators plainly acted from old-fashioned discriminatory animus,” as he cited examples of lawmakers who called trans people “mutants” said that trans identity “is just ideological or made up or wokeism,” and said that the bill “saves trans people” and “recognizes who they are in the eyes of God.”And there’s more!“In time, discrimination against transgender individuals will diminish, just as racism and misogyny have diminished. To paraphrase a civil-rights advocate from an earlier time, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. In the meantime, the federal courts have a role to play in upholding the Constitution and laws.”While I applaud Judge Hinkle’s moral, ethical, and constitutional ruling, I’m also celebrating with the trans folks in Florida, and their families. May we all be able to make the healthcare decision that are right for us. #transgenderrightsarehumanrights #transhealth #ProtectTransKids #lgbtqia
