Frenemy: A portmanteau of 'friend' and 'enemy,' describing a person who blurs the lines between camaraderie and competition, affection and antagonism.

Today, we’re diving into this complicated relationship dynamic with two very special guests: a drag queen and her best, worst friend. It’s going to be shady, sassy, and probably a little too real. For more insight to this "loving" relationship, be sure to go to Greg's 231 East 16th Street Indianapolis on Black Friday, November 29th for The Roast of Sparkle Nightly, a fundraiser for Trinity Haven Indy.

Project 2025 aims to gut protections for the LGBTQ community, which its organizers believe exists in opposition to the “traditional American family” and its Christian nationalist underpinnings.
