Y'all already know this loud mouth of the south. Maxine LaQueene is Texas Handler 2023, a full time drag entertainer, and most importantly a fierce political advocate for the trans & LGBTQIA+ community.

Maxine is not limited by any specific part of the leather community. When she's not busy leading the drag community in Austin, you can find her at the State Capitol rallying for healthcare rights, testifying against drag bans, and fighting for equality & diversity for every minority in Texas. 

If you have to ask why a plus size trans femme drag queen is on the jugdging panel for AKW, you're clearly missing the point of this entire weekend. Representation matters & Maxine is here to be a guiding light to all neruo-divergent critters, kinksters, and queerdos!
