Dear Claire and LincolntTalk,
Someone privately, and respectfully, engaged with me about my below post and 
made me realize that in essence I may have been overprotective of the 16 year 
old and/or may have assumed the worst about Claire’s intent with her post. As a 
result, I want to formally apologize to both Claire and the LT community for 
that. I certainly don’t want to pile on anybody on LT, as I firmly believe that 
we need to hold each other up in our community, regardless of who we are and 
what our differences may be. I also should have known better than to 
effectively assume the worst. For civil, supportive and progressive discourse, 
I believe we need to assume good intent until proven otherwise. I’d like to 
contribute to and perpetrate civil discourse, and not galvanize anyone to pile 
on somebody, and it seems my post may have had the latter impact which I regret.
Thank you,Michelle BarnesSGR

 Agree; we have no right to know this. Feel it is even more egregious— if that 
is possible — since the entertainer told us they are 16 years of age. If I were 
them, I would not feel safe in the current political climate telling the public 
my name on a list serve, even as an adult.  IMHO, we should welcome their 
creative efforts to culturally enrich and entertain our town, and not worry 
about who they are. We have the right to go or not go, irrespective of who they 
are, depending on our personal tastes and preferences.
Best,Michelle BarnesSGR

Not a fair request IMHO. It is common for entertainers to have pseudonyms.CR

Hi there, It's Velvet!
For those who don’t know me, I’m Velvet Vision and I’m a 16 year old Lincoln 
resident and drag queen. This past December I did an all ages drag holiday drag 
show and it was a huge success. I received such great feedback so I am so 
excited to say I am putting on another show! I’m On Saturday, May 27th I am 
hosting an all-ages, family drag show at Bemis Hall which will be Disney 
villain-themed. I would absolutely love it if you were to join us for yet 
another exciting show featuring 8 local drag talents portraying all different 
Disney animated villains. Bring your family for an amazing night with 
everything from marvelous drag fashion to rousing lipsynchs that you won't 
forget. Though this show is villain themed there is no need to be nervous about 
scares, the cast and I are taking great care to make this fun for everyone, 
even your little ones. Don't know Disney? Don't worry! No matter your Disney 
movie knowledge this show is going to be a blast. Doors for the show will open 
at 6:45 with the show starting at 7:00 PM. The show is not expected to go 
longer than an hour to an hour and a half to accommodate the kids. Tickets will 
be available at the door or at this link online. Feel free to email me with any 
questions or concerns you may have. I hope to see you there!
Yours,Velvet--
