One day, when I was a kid, my mom decided we were gonna walk to the grocery store. In Houston, when I was growing up, four out of five families have a pool in their backyard. ![]() I just remember there were so many things about daily life that were different. We moved in May, and it was blistering hot, and we were all completely in total culture shock. I imagine it was quite the culture shock. From the age of about ten until 18, when I left for college, I was living in Sugar Land. I usually say that I grew up half in the U.K. It just so happened that Houston had a place for us. ![]() My dad wanted to branch out and start a bigger life for us, so he wanted to move to America. We talked Houston roots and never giving up. She may not have taken the crown, but Rosé has other stages in mind for the future. Rosé was recently back home for dad's birthday and a quick show before the "Drag Race" Season 13 finale. The family immigrated from Scotland and still calls the Sugar Land area home. McCorkell attended Dulles High School and was a favorite at the Tommy Tune Awards. Though she's credited as a New York queen, Rosé, whose real name is Ross McCorkell, spent ages 10-18 in the Houston area. But that's a story for another day (again). "RuPaul's Drag Race," we've often bemoaned, has yet to cast a Houston queen.

Jackie Cox stressed that Drag Queen Story Hour events have “nothing to do with sex or any negative things that you would want to keep a child away from.” “To me, it’s no different than a child meeting Cinderella at Walt Disney World or meeting a superhero.” “For those who say it’s not OK, I think you need to ask yourself the question, ‘Is this any different than meeting a character at your favorite theme park?’ There is nothing inherently wrong with people wearing fabulous clothes,’” Jackie Cox said.

VH1 Jan and Jackie Cox, whose real name is Darius Rose, said lawmakers who want to ban Drag Queen Story Hour don’t understand what the event is about. The next stop for the legislation will be March 4, when it will be taken up by subcommittees in both the Tennessee Senate and the General Assembly. Holt, a farmer and a Baptist deacon whose motto is “Grow crops, not government,” told the Jackson Sun that while he doesn’t want “big government” telling us “how to live our lives,” he’s in favor of “keeping things in public facilities age-appropriate to protect children from being exposed to things they shouldn’t be exposed to at a young age.” The legislation was introduced in both the state’s House and the Senate by Republican lawmakers Rep. Library staffers who do not follow the oversight committee’s decisions would be guilty of a misdemeanor and could be subject to a $500 fine, imprisonment or both. The similarly titled Parental Oversight of Public Libraries Act would, like Missouri’s bill, mandate that each library elect a committee that would “determine whether any sexual material provided to the public by the public library is age-inappropriate sexual material.” Tennessee followed Missouri’s lead last week by introducing a bill of its own to prohibit Drag Queen Story Hour events at public libraries. ![]() NBC OUT LGBTQ advocates tracking over 200 'harmful' state bills ![]()
