Greetings,

Everett Community College does indeed sponsor "Finals is a Drag." As I only began my tenure at Everett Community College in April, this was my first opportunity to attend the event. It was very well done and very well received. I appreciated the efforts of all involved particularly as I arrived this year from a state in the south which is trying to ban drag shows at every opportunity. As my academic work and publications center primarily on LGBTQIA+ issues in the classroom and representation in textbooks--including anti-homophobic pedagogies--I am well acquainted with the history of drag and varying points of view regarding its expression. It is refreshing to be in a state where discussions around drag are civil and respectful, in contrast to the visceral and hateful attacks on drag which are becoming all to  common in other parts of the country, and particularly in the south.

Cordially,

Dr. John Hudson

Hello Family,

Do or have any of you sponsored a “Drag Show” on your campuses to support and bring awareness to different communities we serve. I hear that Everett has the “Finals is a Drag” show and was wondering where the rest of you sit with that recognizing that there are different points of view on the subject.

Humbly,
