Fleet Week Kicks Off with a Bang: New Drag Brunch Takes Center Stage

A benefit for Veterans for Equality.

Fleet Week seems like a natural time to launch a Drag Show in San Pedro. Because where would we be without the armed forces?

It is said that in WWI and WWII, the military discharged service members found out to be gay, lesbian, bi and trans, and those folks stayed on where they were dropped, creating gay scenes San Francisco, San Diego and Long Beach. And surely, San Pedro.

Required watching on this topic is Scotty and The Secret History of Hollywood.

VFE is a volunteer group of veterans who provide overwatch services for events hosted by marginalized communities in order to stand in the gap against protestors. 

Every year, San Pedro welcomes thousands of active duty military at Fleet Week. But it doesn’t have an event, or even a space, that specifically welcomes LGBTQIA+ folks in San Pedro. Once the sailors fulfill their obligations in town, they likely flock to gay bars in Long Beach or Los Angeles.

Entertainment includes Queen Angelina, DJ BBGURL and special guests. Right now tickets are only $15 until May 10 and include pancake breakfast and the show. This discounted price is only for early birds. Enjoy a full bar, Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s.

Time: 11 a.m. breakfast and 12 p.m. show, May 25 

Cost: 10 (military) to $25

Venue: The Sardine, 1101 S. Pacific Ave, San Pedro
