The Mayor of Bolton, Councillor Andy Morgan, has welcomed six drag queens – Kristal Kane, Jackie Love, Viva la Diva, Shazza Fierce, Pixy Lation and Mona Moans – to the Mayor’s Parlour to “promote inclusion”.
Also present at the meeting were Rob and Kev Wright, organisers of Bolton Pride, which is a non-for-profit organisation which brings together the diverse communities of Bolton, organising events throughout the year that celebrate local LGBTQ+ communities.
Cllr Andy Morgan said: “Inclusion is about more than just words, it’s about making sure everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
“Our town is stronger when everyone has a place at the table.
“I welcomed the drag queens, and also the organisers of the annual Bolton Pride Festival, to the Mayor’s Parlour to help promote inclusion and celebrate diversity in our community.
“The visit was a reminder of how important it is to celebrate all the different voices and talents that make our community so vibrant.
“It highlighted that the parlour and the town hall is a space open to everyone, and they, like any other group can, asked to visit and learn more about the mayoralty and the history of our proud town and local government in general.
“Being the mayor is about representing and celebrating everyone.”
