In an act of defiance and response to the Lieutenant Governor’s priority bill SB 18 to ban drag performance along with numerous bills introduced into the Texas House that further attack drag performers and transgender people, Cathedral of Hope will host its second Celebrating Drag Sunday on Sunday, Feb.
16 at its 8.30 a.m. and 10 a.m. services. During the services, they will bless and affirm those who use drag as an art form and affirm their transgender siblings made in the image of God.
In a statement, the church acknowledged, “We understand that gender and gender identity has been highlighted in recent weeks.
We understand that there is a difference between drag as an art form and transgender as an identity. However, these are often conflated and politicized, often determined as sin by Christianity.
