At a time of targeted hate campaigns toward drag brunches and the trans community, The Walnut Room celebrates what makes them special. louisachu has more.
For the most part, the online haters don’t show up at events in the city, Huey said.
“I really don’t want to get anyone hurt or in trouble or anything like that,” they added. “But I am also not going to let anyone bully us into not doing anything that we’re doing, because we’re not doing anything wrong. I had never been to a drag brunch at The Walnut Room. They are open to all ages, but I didn’t see any kids at the show I attended. I did see plenty of platters of walnut French toast, and countless carafes of bottomless mimosas served to adults.“We’ve always told parents or anyone else bringing their children to check out the theme,” Huey said. “But at the end of the day, there still is never anything inappropriate for anyone to see there. And we’ve done that on purpose.
I had also never attended a drag show in the Venmo era. Along with the menu, my server handed me a handy flyer with the performers’ social media and mobile payment usernames.“I do my big intro announcement, tell everybody the rules, what is allowed and what isn’t,” Huey said. “And remind everybody that the name of the game is having fun — and tipping.”As a Gen Xer, I exchanged cash for a neatly rubber-banded bundle of crisp single dollar bills.
