@pinknews: Los Angeles-based drag queen Lauren Banall (IG/TT @laurenbanall) took their “Erika Qwerk” character on the road, teaming up with fellow drag artists to put on a “Turning Point U.S.GAY” tour across America to raise funds for charity. Haley (TT @haley.rounds) was in attendance of the San Francisco stop of the tour on 7 August and captured stunning video of some of the performances at the event. Dubbed “The ultimate Ring-Wing parody show starring all of your favourite Conservative Leaders”, the ensemble included drag interpretations of figures like Ron DeSantis (Axel Andrews), Candace Owens (Kai Kai Bee Michaels), Clarence Thomas (Mr. Stelio Gurl), Karoline Leavitt (Vanilla Meringue), Lindsey Graham (Britney Shields), Tucker Carlson (Franzia Rosé), Charlie Kirk (Loma Prietta), and JD Vance’s couch (Amy Bathhouse). After the Friday night event at San Francisco’s Oasis Club, Banall took to their social media to reveal that revenue from that night alone was over $10K, putting the tour over the $50K mark in money raised for the ACLU. #ErikaKirk #Drag #LGBTQIA #DragQueen #SanFrancisco #USPolitics #charliekirk
