Nobody had to drag them into it
Often, the people working on local government boards and commissions are there because they were recruited by others already doing the work. That wasn’t the case for Alexander Anderson, who as Alexander the Great is one of Austin’s most successful drag artists.
The commission Alexander became interested in is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Quality of Life Advisory Commission. It’s one of about 30 boards and commissions in Austin that allow citizens to directly participate in city government by making recommendations on public policy. The commission was established in 2017 as a group of 15 advisers to City Council
The commission’s most high-profile work to date was helping craft the language of a resolution passed in May that directs the Austin Police Department to deprioritize enforcement of Senate Bill 14, the state law passed by Republicans in 2023 banning life-saving medical treatment for trans children.
