A legendary drag icon, Glenda’s recent passing in May has deeply impacted the community.
“Glenda’s recent passing on May 27, 2024, left a profound impact on the community, and we are proud to celebrate her life and contributions during this special event,” Founder and President of Newcastle Pride, Lee-Anne McDougall said.
Hosted by the sensational She_Needa, June’s Screamin’ Gay will feature performances from local drag superstars including Aella Stone, Beverley Fabulosity, Kandii Rhinestone, Nova Hudson, and Sticky Waffles.
