The Campus Activities Board hosted “Call It Queen,” a drag queen bingo event Monday in the Abraham Campus Center.

About 30 people attended the event, which  featured Lip Sync performances by  Godoy and Disco Dollie, of Netflix “Next in Fashion” fame. 

The event was in honor of Gaypril, when the University celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. June is Pride Month. 

Tables were decorated with rainbow flags, and mocktails were served to bingo players. 

“I really enjoyed the (drag) performance,” said Robert Saxton, freshman business major.
