D'Arcy Drollinger, the first-ever Drag Laureate of San Francisco, recently concluded her two-year tenure, which was marked by initiatives celebrating drag culture and queer joy. The position, established by the SF Human Rights Commission, was initially meant for 18 months but extended under Drollinger's influential leadership. At the recent Board of Supervisors meeting, Drollinger was honored for her contributions, including the establishment of the San Francisco is a Drag public performance program. As the city prepares to appoint a new laureate, Drollinger expressed gratitude for the opportunity to support and honor the legacy of the drag community.
As the first Drag Laureate of San Francisco, and of the world, this is deeply humbling and really a powerful moment for me, as my two years serving in the capacity have come to an end.
Supervisor Rafael Mandelman noted that as Drag Laureate, Drollinger established the San Francisco is a Drag public performance program, and is of course well-known for owning the SoMa nightclub Oasis.
