Nevada Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto quietly honored
a drag queen and self-described "faglicious homo" for his years
of work with children at a local library.

During a June 26 "Drag Queen Story Time" event in Reno, Masto's
office presented a "certificate of commemoration" to drag queen
Miss Ginger Devine, a Washoe County Library tweet shows. Devine,
who also goes by Reverend Divine and whose real name is
Christopher Daniels, has performed as a drag queen in the Reno
area for more than a decade and has read to children at local
libraries since at least 2019. In a 2010 blog post, Daniels
described himself as a "Broadway loving, Project Runway
watching, rainbow scarf wearing, footlong Subway sandwich eating
faglicious homo."

Cortez Masto has yet to publicly promote her award to Daniels
and did not interact with the library's tweet that revealed the
honor, suggesting the Democrat is hesitant to weigh in on the
controversial "Drag Queen Story Time" program as she faces a
difficult reelection bid against Republican Adam Laxalt.

On the same day as the library's event with Daniels, for
example, Cortez Masto accused Republicans of working to end same-
sex marriage and pledged to stand with "LGBTQ communities." But
the senator has refrained from discussing more hot-button,
"culture war" issues such as drag queen story hours and critical
race and gender theory, even as she praises far-left activists
who say Nevada "should be teaching" critical race theory in
public schools. Laxalt, meanwhile, has called to keep critical
race theory out of the state's schools and "protect students and
teachers from indoctrinated bigotry."

Cortez Masto did not return a request for comment.

Prior to his drag career, Daniels attended the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, where he minored in LGBT Studies and Women's
Studies and worked for Sex Out Loud, a campus organization that
teaches students "all about the world of kink, including role
play, kinky toys, and bondage."

For years, Daniels wrote and managed a "Confessions of a Drag
Queen" blog that detailed his experiences as a performer in
Reno. In one post, Daniels discussed how he "get[s] so much more
action as a drag queen" than he does "as a guy." In another,
Daniels wrote that he "almost got into a fight with a 10 year
old" at a Reno roller rink and arcade�where he said the "average
individual in the establishment was 8"�because a "band of stupid
10 year old boys" objected to his song request of Cyndi Lauper's
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

"Now � I am not entirely sure what happened next. I think it was
the combination of flashing strobe lights, the pain in my calves
from bracing myself on the floor, or perhaps Mars was in
retrograde but I basically went off on this ten year [sic] and
started screaming and ranting while skating around the rink.
From what I remember it went something like this," Daniels
recalled.

"�Uh excuse me you prepubescent choir boy. What the fuck are you
doing? What the fuck can you do?'" Daniels asked the child. "�I
can buy porn, cigarettes, and liquor and enjoy them at my
leisure if I desire. I can drive, vote, and gamble if I want to.
Join the 21st century you 8 year old Justin Bieber worshiping
wannabe. Cyndi Lauper is TIMELESS so shut the fuck up and sit
down."

In addition to his rousing roller rink stories, Daniels has
dismissed concerns from the "parental units of America" that
sexually explicit materials are "influencing the young
impressionable minds of the youth." Daniels called the complaint
"bullshit."

"I would really like the parents of America who are outraged to
remove the pole from your sphincter and get the fuck over it,"
Daniels said in 2010. "Are you kidding me with all of this? Take
a look around. Television shows are increasingly featuring more
violence, more sex, and more foul language; a reflection of our
society which as of late has more violence, more sex, and swears
a hell of a lot more."

Daniels has also delivered "sermons" as "Reverend Divine" at
Reno's Center for Spiritual Living, a religious science group
that believes "in the healing of the sick through the power of
this Mind." In a 2017 appearance at the center, Daniels called
drag queens "God's sacred messengers on this earth." The comment
came after Daniels retired from performing as a drag queen in
2014�roughly five years later, he returned as Miss Ginger Devine
in a show he called "The Come On Her Back Tour."

"When all of a sudden, God parts the clouds and he shines a
light and tells you to take your wig off the shelf, don your
best hooker heels, and go to church, you don't question the good
Lord, you just do," Daniels said in 2017.

Daniels did not return a request for comment on his award from
Cortez Masto. The incumbent Democrat will face Laxalt in
November after both candidates handily won their June primary
elections.
