Meet the Drag Performers Teaching Everyone How to Fight Back Against Anti-LGBTQ+ Threats in 2025


Drag performers Blaq Dinamyte, Jack King Goff and Miss Cali Je explain how their new handbook helps fight back against anti-LGBTQ+ threats.

Separated into seven sections — including “crisis response,” “threats of violence and harassment” and “protections against defamation” — the handbook offers step-by-step guides for what performers can do when dealing with different, unwelcome scenarios. Je serves the Idaho-based non-profit Reading Time with the Queens, where she and her fellow board members perform a 45-minute drag storytelling events for kids and families at a local library. After working with Qommittee to help navigate their hate campaign, Goff consulted on the handbook, reading over the guide’s lengthy section on online harassment and digital security and offering feedback.
