On Feb 13, protesters marched on DC’s Kennedy Center for a fiesty queer dance party including drag performances out front. The cold weather didn’t slow it down in the least. The protesters were there in response to Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center and almost immediate announcement of a drag ban there. Protesters declared that “DC Says this is our house, we’ll do it anyway!”

On Feb 12, Donald Trump was installed as chairman of the Kennedy Center’s Board of trustees after a vote by directors all appointed by Trump to do so. Trump has vowed to ban drag shows there. Other performers of a wide variety of styles are now cancelling appearances at what may as well be the Trump Center. Trump is reviled in DC after all, and the “Trump Center” could face a de facto boycott.
