A drag show that started on Monday lasted for 48 hours straight in Portland, Oregon, ultimately breaking a Guinness World Record for longest drag show, according to KGW8.
The “Drag-a-thon” was held at a drag cabaret in Portland’s Chinatown and hosted 60 performers and 60 emcees, featuring 600 songs, KGW8 reported. The show began Monday afternoon and lasted until Wednesday morning for a grand total of 48 hours, 11 minutes and 30 seconds.
“I swear the only city that could have pulled this off is Portland. The only place that people are going to come out at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. to watch a drag show is Portland,” Drag-a-Thon producer and Wildfang CEO Emma Mcilroy said, according to KGW8.
The previous record for longest drag show performance was 36 hours before being broken by the Portland event, according to KGW8.
Wildfang, a queer apparel company that planned the event in partnership with the venue Darcelle’s, raised $250,000 for the Trevor Project, with over 2,500 people in attendance, the Portland Mercury reported.
Many performers at the show spoke about the importance of hosting a drag show while many states have been passing and promoting laws against drag, KGW8 reported.

Legislation was introduced in early June prohibiting the Department of Defense from paying for, hosting or supporting adult cabaret performances. Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill within the same month calling for the banof sexually oriented performances for minors within the state, and presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that punishes businesses if they allow children to attend drag shows.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's hard to believe it's really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
