Queer Dance Freakout

Excerpt from Austin American Statesman by Reshma Kirpalani Feb 23, 2017

Jeremy von Stilb, Becca Hyatt, Ezra Edwards, and Erica Nix produce Queer Dance Freakout, a protest in support of transgender rights and against the Bathroom Bill.

Later Queer Dance Freak Out was awarded for the Best Protest (with a BPM) by the Austin Chronicle and described as below.

“Queers: They know how to party, and they know how to protest. In the face of bathroom bills and religious liberty laws proposed by the state’s most hateful lawmakers, this qmmunity didn’t settle for picket signs and speeches, instead opting in February for magic and glitter and dance party protest in front of the Governor’s Mansion (queer enemy No. 2) to celebrate all things queer and vibrant and to demand equal rights and real protections – not discriminatory legislation.”
