Riley Knoxx makes "herstory" as the first Trans NBA performer.

Who Runs The World? Maybe Riley Knoxx who's making big waves as a Beyonce impersonator. Yes, there are numerous drag queens and trans performers who do almost spot of tributes to our faves but this is different. American corporations are finally waking up to the fact that consumers want diversity in their television choices. Some people want to be affirmed others want to see something different. One thing the LGBT community is known for is making the opulent accessible. That's why we're applauding the NBA's choice to welcome Knoxx as the halftime performer at the Washinton Wizard's Pride night game against the Atlanta Falcons. Shout out the ATL and DMV! We can't think of two better fits.
