Heklina would have hated this: A memorial

By Adriana Roberts It was a night to remember at the Castro Theatre as a community came together to mourn but mostly to celebrate the life of iconic drag legend, Heklina, who sadly passed away last month while preparing for her Mommie Queerest show with Peaches Christ in London.Though to be fair, the only reason she would have hated it is because she wasn't the one organizing, booking, and promoting it or making money off of it.
