After several years in hiatus the King and Queen Boston Pride Pageant was
revived in 2019 at Club Cafe in Boston last Friday May 17 the pageant was
produced by the new director Jovan Cardin IV who himself was a former King
and co-hosted by another former King Rocky Graziano and drag queen
PennyTentiary. I had the honor to be part of a judging panel that included Miss
Cambridge 2019 Chelsea Vuong and Miss Boston 2019 Molly Caron a total of two
contestants competed in the King division which was open to male
illusionists, impersonators, cisgender women, cisgender men, drag kings,
transgender (pre- or post-op) and to gender bender, non-binary queer
entertainers. A total of six contestants competed in the Queen division which was
open to cisgender women, cisgender men, drag queens, transgender (pre- or post-op)
and gender bender, non-binary queer entertainers
All contestants were judged in four categories the first one was
presentation inspired by the hit drama television series "Pose" yes
pose like this or this or this
they were also judged in talent, evening wear and question-and-answer
entertainment was provided by Penny Tentiary, Fer Cardin, a former Mister
Massachusetts United States; Ivy League O'deria, Miss New England Continental 2017
and by Jovan himself
Here are some highlights from the pageant only one can rule the world bow down to the king
giving us your time
you
who to varying degrees do not we don't have equal access to education to
healthcare and some other basic liberties like marriage or fair voting
process they are hiring
probably my biggest achievement is I'm actually very big in the Rhode Island
gay community I've been there for 10 years so I get a really great accomplishment
in itself and one of the most important qualities that I think is important for
this position is South that is willing to do everything and everything to give
back to this community the first thing that I would tell myself
is it's okay to be scared it's okay to make mistakes and it's okay to make some
really bold choices
my coochie look swampy back there so this is the moment where normally we'd
have someone give up their title
yeah
our new king of Boston Pride is...Gil!
Strike a pose. And the queen of Boston Pride 2019 is Ania Bangcocks which means that the first runner-up is Alexandra Dior!
