Credit: Two-spirit drag performer Gila Suspectum, Akimel O'odham and Yaqui, captured the audience's adoration during their performance at queer prom as they danced and lip synced to the music, twirling in an electric rainbow cape. Dressed as a "mushroom dragon," Gila Suspectum looked like a mythical being out of a fantasy novel. Neon mushrooms adorned the horns on their head, their ears looked like they could belong to a sea creature; and they donned long nails like talons. Colorful face makeup tied the look together. "Colonialism brings the gender binary. Colonialism brings homophobia," Gila Suspectum told the crowd, who cheered in response. "Being (two-spirit) is a sacred cultural role."
