“I’m so honored to have the opportunity to have taken six seconds from almost a decade and a half ago and have stretched it this long — and become not just a voice, but a pioneer for so many different hues of our community.” — TS Madison 

BABY! From SIX SECONDS to nearly 15 YEARS of impact. THAT is a journey.

During my interview with TS Madison at Unleashed LGBTQ+ in Dallas during Pride in Dallas Weekend, I asked her what’s been going on in her world, and she gave me an update on her journey, what she’s been working on and some of the projects she has coming up.

And this part right here stuck with me.

What started with a viral moment became a career, a platform and a voice that has helped create visibility for so many different hues of the LGBTQ+ community.

This interview happened just before TS Madison made history with the first-ever LIVE recording of her number 1-ranked @iheartradio show, The Outlaws Podcast @outlaws.podcast by TS Madison, right here in Dallas.

Get into this clip, check out the full interview and make sure you’re following Nay2The, @tsmadison and @unleashedlgbtq for more.

Everybody quick to scream “agenda” when it comes to LGBTQ+ people…

…but silent about the patterns actually hurting our community every day.

Multiple households struggling.
Limited paths being pushed to our youth.
Cycles that keep repeating.

At some point we gotta stop pointing fingers outward and start having real conversations inward.

This isn’t hate—it’s accountability.
This is about growth.
This is about protecting the future.

Are we ready to talk about the REAL issues… or nah?

Drop your thoughts 👇🏾

This account might as well be a Tim Tim Gorgeous Gucci stan account because he never quite stops getting me up and wanting to share his clips. 😭🔥

Get into this one! One of my favorite twisters came out for LSS at Vogue After Dark at S4 in Dallas and completely put on a SHOW for 60 seconds.

Get into the elements. Get into the theatrics. Get into the musicality. Get into the DRAMA of it all. 😮‍💨

He definitely did his BIG one.

Did you see it? Did he get you up? Do you live for seeing @king_timtim ?

Drop it in the comments and let me know — does he get you up like he gets me up?

And should I just go ahead and make this a Tim Tim Gorgeous Gucci stan account? 😂🔥

My son Narcotix Ebony, that multiple-thousand-dollar Schoolboy Realness winner, popped out for Open to All Performance at Vogue After Dark at S4 in Dallas and wanted to give the kids a little twist. 😮‍💨🔥

Get into this clip! It was soft. It was feminine. It was PERFORMANCE.

Did you see the elements? Did you get into the vogue? Did he give you enough for 10’s?

Drop it in the comments and let me know. Do you see it? 👀

Is it 10’s across the board or is it a chop?

SCORE HIM! 🗣️🔥

Scar Ebony @scar.ayden vs. Bronze 007 was the hottest performance battle of the night at Vogue After Dark Sunday night at @s4dallas in Dallas. 😮‍💨🔥

Two Realness With a Twist boys going AT IT — element for element, spin for spin, dip for dip, trick for trick.

You gotta get into this clip! They definitely left it ALL on the floor.

Get into the theatrics. Get into the musicality. Get into the elements. Get into the PERFORMANCE.

Who woke it up? Was this a nasty battle? Who did their BIG one?

Drop it in the comments and let me know — WHO STAYS?

GIMME ONE! 👀🔥

Ballroom houses once played a pivotal role in the survival of LGBTQ+ and ballroom community members. For decades, your ballroom family could be your chosen family, your support system, and sometimes the people you depended on when you didn’t have anywhere else to turn. (National Park Service)

As acceptance from friends, family, and society grew for many LGBTQ+ people, things changed, and the role ballroom family once played in a person’s everyday survival wasn’t always the same.

But with today’s issues, political climate, and the challenges facing LGBTQ+ people, are we going back to a point where our ballroom families are going to play a bigger part in our survival again?

Do houses need to become more than who we walk with and battle with?

Do we need ballroom family the way generations before us needed ballroom family?

Share your thoughts. I really want to hear what the community thinks.

Women’s Face was one of the hottest categories of the night at Houston’s Kiki vs. Mainstream Vogue Night. 😮‍💨🔥

Baby, get into this battle! It was a battle of the chocolates — dark chocolate vs. milk chocolate @br3alle — and baby, I got IN!

This was cute. They were giving. They SOLD it. They had the elements — skin, teeth, nose, eyes, STRUCTURE. 👀

It was hot, and this was gonna be a tough one.

Get into it! Drop it in the comments and let me know — WHO STAYS?

Who gave you Women’s Face? 👀🔥

Commentator vs. Commentator was the hottest battle of the night for me at Vogue After Dark at S4 in Dallas. 😮‍💨🔥

Baby, get into this battle between Micah 007 @micahb098 and Boi Boi 007 @mc.boiboi !

When I tell you they went IN and did not play! The chants were cute. The back and forth was cute. The crowd was INTO IT. 🗣️🔥

Who gave you what you needed? Who woke it up for you? Was this the most sickening Commentator vs. Commentator battle you’ve seen?

Drop it in the comments and let me know.

WHO STAYS? 👀 GIMME ONE!

Baby, my son Savion, aka Tootie, aka Toxik Balmain, stepped out for his 10’s for Open to All Performance at Vogue After Dark at S4 in Dallas. 😮‍💨🔥

Baby, get into this clip! He wasn’t planning on walking, but I needed my clip. 😂 I said, “Son, get out there and give me a clip!” And son got out there and GAVE ME A CLIP!

Get into the elements. Get into the musicality. Get into the Realness With a Twist that my son is.

Really get in! Do you see it? Is he giving you twist? Do you see the realness? Did he get you up?

Is it 10’s across the board? 👀

Drop it in the comments and let me know — did my son eat these 10’s or nah?

SCORE HIM! 🗣️🔥
