Cassie Nova, Jenna Skyy, Rocky Tacoma and Bleach speak with state Rep. Rafael Anchia
Cassie Nova, Jenna Skyy, Bleach and Rocky Tacoma from the cast of the Rose Room hopped a plane to Austin today (Wednesday, May 10), to testify against Senate Bill 12, a measure being heard today by the House State Affairs Committee that would effectively ban drag shows in Texas. Watch the video below. Mike Ngyuen of Caven Enterprises — which owns S4, the Rose Room, JR.’s, Sue Ellen’s and TMC: The Mining Company, which all host drag shows — and Arthur Hood of HV Entertainment — which owns the soon-to-open Dallas location of Hamburger Mary’s, which will also feature drag shows — both went with the queens today to lobby against SB 12.

I’m sure this petulant, drug addict clownshow accomplished a lot and totally didn’t make anyone on the other side of the issue even more determined to shit on us all even more when they saw it. Thanks for all you do, gents! When we revert back to 1970s policies and the community goes down in flames, we’ll have you and “activists” to thank for it.
