On
6/3/23,
my
boyfriend
and
I
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
a
drag
show
at
the
blazing
Saddle.
It
was
a
fantastic
event
filled
with
talented
performers
and
a
vibrant
atmosphere.
However,
there
was
an
unfortunate
incident
that
I
feel
compelled
to
share.
During
the
show,
a
remarkable
moment
occurred
when
an
elderly
lady
with
a
walker
was
enjoying
the
performances.
She
was
incredibly
kind,
tipping
the
drag
queens
and
adding
to
the
wholesome
spirit
of
the
evening.
As
the
venue
became
more
crowded,
she
found
it
difficult
to
navigate
through
the
crowd.
It
was
then
that
a
young
man,
who
happened
to
be
standing
near
her,
graciously
lifted
the
rope
of
the
VIP
area
so
she
could
exit
through
the
designated
walkway.
To
our
surprise,
one
of
the
drag
queens
nearby,
Lieza
Diamond,
reacted
negatively
to
this
act
of
kindness.
She
made
a
scene,
expressing
her
disapproval
loudly
and
causing
discomfort
for
many
attendees.
This
behavior
was
disappointing,
especially
considering
this
drag
queen
had
recently
received
recognition
for
her
talent
at
the
Garden
Nightclub.
It
is
essential
to
remember
that
the
actions
of
one
individual
do
not
represent
an
entire
community.
The
drag
community
and
the
LGBT
community,
in
general,
are
built
on
inclusivity,
love,
and
acceptance.
This
incident
should
not
overshadow
the
countless
moments
of
compassion
and
support
that
we
have
witnessed
within
these
communities.
Let
us
use
this
incident
as
a
reminder
to
continue
embracing
the
values
that
make
our
community
so
special.
It's
important
to
uplift
those
who
exemplify
these
values
and
contribute
positively
to
our
shared
experiences.
Together,
we
can
create
a
space
that
celebrates
diversity,
kindness,
and
understanding.
