A star-studded cast of queer New Yorkers, from world-famous actors and drag performers to LGBTQ grassroots activists, joined forces on Oct. 11, to celebrate National Coming Out Day and support the candidate for mayor who they contended will best represent the community’s needs, Democratic party nominee Zohran Mamdani.
The rally, which was organized by the volunteer-led group Gays for Zohran — which is unaffiliated with Mamdani’s campaign — drew hundreds of people who gathered at the foot of the AIDS Memorial in the West Village, entertained by performances by the drag performer Kiki Ball-Change and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Plasma.
