Happy Friday, everyone! My name is Taylor, and I’m back with this week’s QWeekly — your once-a-week recap of Qnotes’ headlines. Our newest edition hits the stands today, so be sure to pick up your copy!
In this edition, QNotes’ own David Aaron Moore discusses what’s happened since QNotes was the first publication to report on a financial controversy involving the non-profit LGBTQ+ college student advisory organization Campus Pride and now former CEO, Shane Windmeyer.
Windmeyer has made no public comment regarding his financial misdeeds, the settlement or any regrets he might have surrounding the controversy.
Recently, details have emerged that Buff Faye, Windmeyer’s drag persona, has been booked for an appearance at Charlotte venue The Fillmore on June 8 and for the upcoming Rock Hill Pride celebration in South Carolina on June 22.
