'Dragula' star Maxi Glamour attended a Missouri House of Representatives hearing in full drag to shut down an official over a proposed bill they say is harmful to drag performers and trans people.
Maxi Glamour opposed a Missouri bill they say draws "parallels between the sexual trauma of children and the public presence of trans individuals and drag performers."Entertainment Weekly's Oscars expert, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' beat reporter, host of 'Quick Drag' Twitter Spaces, and cohost of 'EW's BINGE' podcast. Almost all of the drag content on this site is my fault .
Maxi summarized the bill as "creating this vacuum that makes it so that drag and gender non-conforming presentation is not permitted within any space of the city," and that the law "would make it so that drag would be eradicated based on the zoning laws" of St. Louis. Later, on social media, Maxi addressed their appearance by hitting out at Republicans who they said labeled drag entertainers as "inherently lewd and sexually deviant," and characterized the bill as potentially implementing "zoning laws that determine where sexually oriented businesses may operate" in the city.
Among Maxi's notable moments from the show was a jaw-dropping elimination challenge from the premiere, which tasked the entertainer with jumping out of an airplane from 18,000 feet in an effort to prove their determination to stay on the show. They ultimately survived the segment, and finished the season in eighth place overall.U.K. broadcaster reports J.K.
