Salty butch queen douses ballroom judges in mace after his boyfriend gets the chop
A ball in Atlanta got a little too spicy this weekend, and the ballroom community is more than gagged.The main category at the Haus of Del Core’s Black Card 4 ball was butch queen face, a category for cis men to sell a prize-winning, photo spread-ready mug.The cash prize for this category was a smooth $10,000:It was no doubt a prize worth fighting for.
However, after one man was chopped (a.k.a eliminated) from the category, his boyfriend took it much farther than your average ballroom scrap.Toni Del Core was done up, selling Hellraiser to the tens.
