Dominick Varney, known as Priscilla Poppycocks when performing in drag, paints his social media page with sexual innuendo. Yet Maine’s Bangor High School (BHS) paid him $1,000 to put on a workshop with a theme of his choice for LGBT students in May.

“I just know you are a role model for these kids, and we just want you to shine a light on them,” BHS English teacher Emilie Throckmorton wrote to Mr. Varney, who also works as assistant director of undergraduate academic advising and support services for the University of Maine (UMaine).
