Variety show celebrates queer joy
Everyone celebrates Valentine’s Day in their own way from candlelit dinners with one’s significant other, to Galentine’s gal pal celebrations. February 14th celebrations do not have to be exclusively for couples but can be an opportunity to celebrate love in all forms, from friends, family, and even communities. This was the goal of “Queer Right Here”, a live variety show focused on celebrating the vibrant and diverse queer community in San Marcos. Hosted at MotherShip Studios, the showcase featured live music, storytelling, comedy, drag, vendors and even fire eating. The event was a fundraiser for the San Marcos Queer Council, which is an organization that’s dedicated to creating safe and supportive spaces for queer individuals. The host of the event was James Hardin who organized the event and acted as the master of ceremonies, guiding the crowd through each local performer while telling jokes and stories in between acts. The packed crowd laughed and sang together as there was a diverse variety of talents showcased throughout the night.
