A Letter from Mx Sweetheart of Portland XXXIV

Picture
I came into this year with the goal of increasing representation of transmasc people in the drag community, and show that being a femme performer doesn't change who I am as a trasmasculine person. I don't know if I succeeded at this. It isn't something that is easy to quantify or measure. I do know that this title and organization gave me the space and opportunity to create so many new connections while raising money and resources for vital organizations for queer and trans youth.

My solo event was a clothing swap and fundraiser for SMYRC with a cast of all youth performers, yet another underrepresented facet of our community. We were able to bring a car full of clothing and drag to SMYRC for their youth.

Another aspect of our year that Sue and I tried to cultivate with our events is creating space in these types of organizations for performers and events that aren't your standard pageant type of drag. Which brings us to our holiday show of Zombie Prom on Halloween, which benefited the Trevor Project.

​I would not have made it through this year without Sue From Corporate by my side. Sue I am eternally grateful to have you as my friend and my drag mother. I wouldn't have wanted to do this with anyone else.

History of the Sweethearts of Portland

The Sweethearts of Portland are a state and federally registered 501(c)3 non-Profit charitable corporation, devoted to raising fund for other non-profit groups. 

The Sweethearts of Portland was founded on the spirit of Rose empress Velvet Monet, who was commonly referred to as the Sweetheart of Portland. In 1986 the Title became official and Velvet and Robert Thomas because the first crowned Mr. and Miss. Sweetheart of Portland. 

The titles of Mr. \MX.\ and Miss. Sweetheart of Portland differ from other Portland titles in that the titleholders are determined, not by a talent contest or popular vote, but on who can raise the most money for charity. This is done at the Sweethearts Annual Raffle contest held on or around Valentines Day each year. Candidates sell raffle tickets and raise cash donations for the raffle over the course of three weeks. The contest culminates at the Annual Sweetheart Ball where the winners are crowned. 

In recent years the Sweethearts of Portland have added X. titles for our non-binary/trans siblings who feel seen with a title that is gender non-specific.
