MARTIna McPRIDE

Hi Milkers!! Happy Pride!!! This week, we’re joined by the one and only Marti Gould Cummings! Not only are they a walking International drag artist institution, they are a political powerhouse, and this year’s 2025 NYC Pride Grand Marshal. Claps for Marti !!! We talk about the full-circle magic of marching in your first Pride at the age of 17… and then leading it 20 years later. Marti opens up about their journey from nightlife icon to political organizer, how drag became a tool for visibility and advocacy, and the mentors who helped shape their path — from Patina Miller gifting them their first drag wardrobe, to Gavin Creel offering the encouragement that would change their everything. We miss you Gav...We talk chosen family, and why joy is a radical act- especially now! This one’s a love letter to QUEER resilience, showing up for your community, and becoming the person you needed when you were younger. We loved this conversation and we know you will too.
