Alamo City drag icon Kristi Waters has become the first such performer to compete for the title of San Antonio River Walk Queen. Waters — who’s won Best Drag Queen in the Current’s Best of San Antonio listings three years running — said in an emailed statement that she’s seeking a spot on the River Walk Royal Court to inspire members of the LGBTQ+ community to be “visible and resilient in the face of adversity.” “I’m honored to be representing the LGBTQIA+ community, as I am the very first drag queen to run for River Walk Queen,” Waters added. A former Corpus Christi schoolteacher, Waters is among the city’s highest-profile drag performers.
