5th Annual OutLaw Drag Show
Come join OutLaw for a night of Drag, drinks, food, and fun as we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community! Performers are members of the L&C community including students, staff, and alumni family. Entrance, drink tickets, and food are all FREE! Fundraising for the Portland Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Resource Center (providing various professional and support services to LGBTQ+ youth with the goals of increasing academic success and access to jobs, reducing poverty, and school drop-out) is done via voluntary, but suggested, donation (of any amount) by attendees. So, bring your dolla-dolla bills to hand to performers and put in donation jars, and be prepared to have a fantastic night! This is an all-ages event, but please be aware that Drag, by its nature, can have adult themes and undertones.
