The calendar may read 2021, but early 2000s nostalgia is in full force: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are dating again, mom jeans are everywhere, and a new episode of Friends is airing—in this case, a reunion special.

In its truest form, drag is a protest. The protests of trans women, non-binary people, and drag artists were the impetus of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, one of the most sweeping political revolutions in modern history. It only makes sense then, that trans women, non-binary people, and drag artists have a seat at the table of governance deciding the future of their rights in America and in their cities. That’s where Marti Allen-Cummings, candidate for New York City Council in 2021, comes in. If elected, they will make history as...

For those curious about what exactly those difficulties might be, Warner Bros. TV Group President Channing Dungey didn’t give many details when discussing the hold-up: “We’ve got a...
