City Cast Austin

The Culture Keeping Queer Austinites Safe in an Unsafe State

Listen Later

We all know Austin’s official Pride celebration takes place in August — but there’s one event that you shouldn’t miss in June: The Majestic Ball, this Saturday, June 21. House of Lepore Founder and Mother, Icon Natalie Lepore, joins host Nikki DaVaughn to talk about ballroom in Austin, how ballroom picks up where biological families fail LGBTQ-plus relatives, and why Lepore is now giving up on Austin and advising her trans children to do the same.
