A group of popular drag queens were set upon and attacked by a gang outside a premises on Dublin's Dame Street on Tuesday night.
Alexis McQueen, who is one of the resident drag queens at The George around the corner on George's Street, suffered injuries to her head after the attack in which a glass bottle was used. She was with fellow drag performers Anita Hero and Grainne Kneez when a group of men started verbally attacking them with slurs over their appearance.
According to an Instagram story post by Anita Hero, Grainne Kneez was in drag and Alexis McQueen had dressed down but still had her makeup on when the men confronted them and used homophobic slurs. They followed the trio out of the shop they were in and threw bags of glass at them which led to Alexis suffering cuts to her head when she stood between her friends and the men harassing them.
