🏳️‍⚧️Rainbow Railroad is global not-for-profit organization that helps LGTBQI+ people facing persecution based on their sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever before, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.

SwearyPrincess is a polyamarous trans lesbian cybergoth who decided that during a pandemic was not the time to start streaming angry industrial so pivoted to trance instead… and is now here to stay. Addicted to mashups, 138+ BPM and Christina Novelli, she hopes to end her 20 year hiatus from club DJing as soon as the blasted things reopen again!”
“I’m doing the PRIDE fundraiser because we still have a long way to go, and even though society broadly accepts middle-class cis white gay couples there can be not rest until EVERYONE is equal. We’re well past the need for “awareness” now, equality or bust…”

WHY ARE YOU DOING THE PRIDE FUNDRAISER?
As a queer individual myself, I have always wanted to use my platform as a form of advocacy and means to give back to the LGBTQIA2+ community. After hearing about Rainbow Road and what they do I’m looking forward to performing for a good cause and on the last weekend of Pride!
