Perhaps you want to quibble about the minor details, like how they didn’t technically phone the police, but rather, a bouncer called over a police officer to handle it. Perhaps you think I’m asking how this happened. WHY THE FUCK DID A QUEER BAR CALL THE POLICE ON A DRAG QUEEN DURING PRIDE? So I have to ask a question, a question I can’t get out of my head: TEN Atlanta is another failed attempt at bringing back mid-century architectural brutalism, and Tatianna was probably booked into a more aesthetically pleasing venue, with better music and fewer cokeheads.Ĭertainly, it could be ignored as just another TMZ headline. You might be wondering, why would I care about TEN Atlanta? It’s a bar I pass on the way to another bar. So far, in queer media, this seems to merely be a tabloid headline. During Pride weekend, the bouncer at TEN Atlanta, apparently incapable of managing RuPaul’s Drag Race icon Tatianna, referred the belligerent Tatianna to their cop-for-hire, who arrested her.
