Drag Performers Form National Network to Combat Rising Hate

The Qommittee aims to provide safety and legal resources amid increasing threats and legislative attacks.

Drag artists announce the formation of the Qommittee to support and protect performers nationwide.
The initiative follows a rise in anti-drag violence and legislative attempts to restrict drag events.
The Qommittee plans to recruit 1,000 performers and launch officially in June 2025.
Federal agencies have warned of potential extremist threats targeting upcoming LGBTQ Pride events.
Survivors of attacks like those at Pulse and Club Q are among the key figures in the new coalition.
