"As a drag queen, "family" means those who look out for you. It's a group of other performers who are willing to help share tips and tricks, fix a busted zipper, grab the exact shade of lip stick you need and, above all, will support your crazy ideas. My family makes me proud daily.  Natasha fights a devastating mental illness daily, but does so publicly, sharing her story with others who may need assistance.  Michelle pushes the envelope on drag with unique costumes, hair, and makeup.  Her reign as Miss Capital City Gay Pride proved that Richmond's drag scene was growing and accepting of different styles." - Ryan Allen/Reann Ballslee

What is a family?  The Valentine's current exhibit "One Love: LGBT Families" asks this question.  In partnership with OutRVA and Michael Simon Photography, the exhibit runs through September 4, 2017.
