Karen Attiah: All praise the #drag queens of Texas
"This is the heart of the matter. To uplift is serious spiritual work. But to oppress is as well. Those who pass bills such as #SB12, and who direct insults and violence at #LGBTQ+ people, are doing the dark spiritual labor of denying people their humanity, their expression, their safety and security.
Sunday was a lesson in how to remain compassionate — and glamorous — in the face of oppression. The Sisters told me that despite the attacks, they were not deterred from doing their spiritual work. The rest of us shouldn’t be, either."
