Kristi Waters becomes first drag performer to vie for role of San Antonio River Walk Queen
Alamo City drag icon Kristi Waters has become the first such performer to compete for the title of San Antonio River Walk Queen. Waters — who's won Best Drag Queen in the Current's Best of San Antonio listings three years running — said in an emailed statement that she's seeking a spot on the River Walk Royal Court to inspire members of the LGBTQ+ community to be "visible and resilient in the face of adversity." “I’m honored to be representing the LGBTQIA+ community, as I am the very first drag queen to run for River Walk Queen,” Waters added. A former Corpus Christi schoolteacher, Waters is among the city's highest-profile drag performers.
