On a recent Saturday afternoon, four drag performers gathered in a hotel lobby that doubles as a bar just west of the University of Texas at Austin. It was time for the monthly Divacakes Drag Revue show, the first since a gunman killed five people and injured more than 20 others at a queer club in Colorado.
"It's absolutely horrendous and awful, and it's terrifying," said Noodles, one of the show's hosts. "But you can't let things like that make you not keep doing what you're doing because otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today."
