Reports found drag shows disappeared from the Smithsonian's calendar after institution leader Lonnie Bunch told House Republicans he'd "look into" them. Here's what really happened.
The show, planned to coincide with this year's WorldPride, was postponed due to budget constraints, not Donald Trump's policies, a spokeswoman says.
When challenged over a portrait of a transgender Statue of Liberty by the National Portrait Gallery, artist Amy Sherald declared that "silence is not an option."
Organizers say they expect a more forthcoming answer about why the event, which included a trans and nonbinary reading room, was suddenly scrapped.
In July, Sherald cancelled an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery over disagreements about the painting, Trans Forming Liberty. Now, it and the show's other works are on their way to Baltimore.
The LGBTQ-inclusive lineup will feature celebrity presenters such as Melissa Etheridge, Steven Spielberg, and Sally Field.
