“We feel like this specific nonprofit probably gets overlooked a lot,” said Mindy Arendt, co-founder and president of Friends With Benefits and Denton resident. This year’s event raised money for the Coalition for Aging LGBT, a Dallas nonprofit focused on improving and protecting the quality of life for older members of the LGBTQ+ community in North Texas by providing services in health, housing, advocacy, financial security and social services, according to its website. Thorgy Thor took the stage at Harvest House Saturday for the fourth annual We Denton Drag It show, hosted by Friends With Benefits.
Four hundred people sprawled across the Harvest House patio turn their focus to a brightly lit stage, greeted by a RuPaul’s Drag Race season eight star in a hot pink dress with blond, voluminous hair.
