Drag Superstar Advocates for LGBTQ+ Inclusivity at Mighty Hoopla

Mighty Hoopla Festival Spotlights LGBTQ+ Representation: A Conversation with Queen Priyanka The Mighty Hoopla festival in the UK recently provided a platform for important conversations about LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Canadian drag pop superstar Queen Priyanka, interviewed at the event, offered insightful comments on how to better support the community. Priyanka's interview highlights the underrepresentation of diverse artists in mainstream media. "It seems to be that the acts and musicians being pushed to the forefront are straight, white, usually," she observed. This lack of diversity, she suggests, needs addressing. Priyanka advocates for taking more risks on artists from underrepresented groups, stating, "It would be nice to see more of that coin being put on, taking a risk on people." Her words underscore the need for greater support and opportunities for LGBTQ+ artists, ensuring broader representation and visibility within the industry. The festival itself serves as a positive example of creating space for diverse voices to be heard.
