Nearly a year after the West Hollywood City Council approved the creation of a drag laureate, staff for the Southern California LGBTQ enclave have etched out a proposal for how to launch the position this November. It will be the first such representative for drag performers and LGBTQ nightlife issues established by a U.S. municipality. San Francisco may become the second, as the idea is under discussion by City Hall officials and could be brought forward later this year. As the Bay Area Reporter has previously noted, the concept of having an ambassador for the local drag community was first proposed in the draft version of San Francisco's groundbreaking LGBTQ+ Cultural Heritage Strategy released in 2018.
