A historic church in England hosted a drag performance for the first time in its three centuries-long history, justifying the move as a celebration of “artistry.”
The St. James’s Church in Piccadilly, London, hosted the drag performance on March 4, featuring former contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, a British reality show. “As part of its mission to celebrate artistry and ingenuity in every walk of life, for the first time in its 340-year history, St. James’s will welcome drag icons from around the world to perform beneath its ornate gold ceiling, showcasing some of the biggest names in the art of drag, as well as fresh talent,” the church said about the event. A second event is scheduled for June 3.
