The Milwaukee Brewers’ commemoration of LGBTQT pride next week will feature men who want to be women in a “pre-game drag show.”
“Celebrate our local LGBTW community with special appearances, local entertainment & photo ops!” the official Milwaukee Brewers account tweeted on Wednesday.
Drag queens Dora Diamond, Beth Anne Bodyworks, Dita Von and Marbella are slated to compete in “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in a beer garden during the “Pride Night” festivities.
The Brewers are also offering a “Brewers Pride” backpack to attendees of the event.
The Milwaukee Brewers held their first LGBT pride night in 2018.
At the time, the Brewers’ chief operating officer Rick Schlesinger claimed public demand prompted the team to work on “inclusivity.”
“The schedule for our theme nights has expanded to at least 16 events this season, and we are excited that Pride Night is one of the new additions,” Schlesinger told Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “The inclusion of Pride Night is a result of fan feedback and our ongoing work with and support of the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce. Similar events have been very successful in other Major League markets, and we know that this will be a very entertaining night at Miller Park.”
