Week of July 16
Whether you’re a local or tourist, we always feature our favorite spots along with all the new and exciting things our city has to offer.
This week’s QVegas isn’t just about glam—it’s about visibility, inclusion, and the power of performance to transcend speech and stereotype. In honor of our cover stars, Deafies in Drag, we’ve proudly translated our masthead into American Sign Language—a tribute to Deaf culture and a reminder that pride speaks in many languages.
Jimmy Linares and Alvaro Garcia aren’t just drag artists—they’re storytellers building bridges between communities through fierce talent and fearless authenticity. Their work reminds us that visibility is resistance, and art is advocacy.
For nearly five decades, QVegas has amplified voices on the margins—from drag queens to activists, rebels to visionaries. We’re proud to keep doing it in print, online, and now, in ASL.
To Jimmy, Alvaro, and every performer smashing barriers: thank you. Pride isn’t just a parade—it’s a promise to be loud, proud, and never silenced. In any language.
