As we celebrate the special bond between mothers and their children, let us also take a moment to recognize and appreciate the diversity within our LGBTQ+ community and the importance that Drag Mothers and Haus Mothers have played in the culture and fabric of the LGBTQ+ Community. Our party promises to be a night of glamour, excitement, and most importantly, inclusivity. Whether you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community or as an ally, we welcome you with open arms. As we dance the night away under the stars, let us celebrate our individuality and our shared experiences. Let us make this a night to remember and a tribute to the love and support that we give to each other, just like the love and support that mothers provide. So come and join us this Mother’s Day as we make unforgettable memories and spread the message of love and acceptance. We can’t wait to see you there.”
