Terence Smith / Joan Jett Blakk is a fabulous performer and activist who used to do my first show in SF, Tangent. If you're enjoying the rights and visibility we have in the queer community today, Terence is one of the reasons why....please support him however you can.
Joan Jett Blakk was the first drag queen to run for president. Joan had a major stroke last year- to support her need for lifelong care, her iconic 1992 presidential campaign poster has been re-released as a limited edition t-shirt. I got one! https://t.co/XNnU8O4k4C
