Hi all, as the person that sparked this conversation I thought I’d quickly discuss this. In the current climate that I, a young queer person, am faced with I feel the need to not only put first the customs of drag culture first but also my personal safety. It is drag culture to have a drag name

Thanks for pointing that out. Obviously it doesn’t make me unconcerned for the reasons I mentioned, but it’s useful to know that there’s something on the books about it. Rachel On Thu, May 18, 2023 at 6:48 PM Rich Rosenbaum wrote: > Regarding anonymity in Town Meeting: > > I could not find

I love this response, *and* I think it's important to protect the anonymity of folks who might be in positions of marginalization or vulnerability in our public conversations generally. I've been thinking about this a lot re: asking for folks to identify themselves in open public forums, meetings,

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

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

Many performers use stage names. Although I don’t know much about drag culture, I don’t think it is common for drag performers to share names that they might use elsewhere. Let’s also please remember in any responses that this is a 16-year-old member of our community. Thanks, Liz On Thu,
