“Dykes Do Drag” – the title says a mouthful but not all there is to say.
Dykes Do Drag are queers of all genders and orientations, celebrating an expanding continuum of gender expression and performance in the Upper Midwest for 15 years. This edgy performance art cabaret features the Twin Cities best as well as newcomers in traditional Drag, burlesque, live music, boi-lesque, modern dance, video and visual art, and lip synching in enticing and exciting hilarity.
A few more bombastic terms to describe DDD include but are not limited to: sexy, radical, entertaining, titillating, kinky and weird. We perform 5 times a year at the Bryant-Lake Bowl!

In 1970, a Minnesota gay couple did the unthinkable— they applied for a marriage license. In 2013, the Minnesota legislature legalized same-sex marriage. The forty-three years in between saw great change within the gay community and in the broader society. Join us as Normandale Community College Professor Robert Frame talks about that historic transformation.
This program is one of several that the Ramsey County Library is presenting on the history of some of the diverse groups that make up our area in the 21st century. For a complete list, check our website www.rclreads.org Come and meet your neighbors! Everyone is welcome.
