Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students in a school in North Carolina, United States were getting bullied, so teachers called in their local drag queens for help. Teachers Taylor Schmidt and Schara Brooks turned to Durham City’s drag queens when they realized their students faced more bullying and discrimination from their peers, as per The News & Observer on May 15. ADVERTISEMENTThe school was not immune to state and national trends, as per Schmidt, which showed majority of LGBT students are being bullied for their LGBT identity. He and Brooks knew they could not address the problem alone and invited Durham drag queens Vivica C. Coxx and Stormie Daie to the school’s Pride & Liberation event. The event, held last May 13, proved to be a success and saw Coxx and Daie perform to over 200 middle school students.
