Sisco, Kaleb, 1993 or 1994- -- Interviews

Kaleb Sisco, stage name Ginger Von Snap, is interviewed by Sarah Steiner as a part of the Gender and Sexuality Oral History project. Sisco is a gay male who performs gender neutral drag by blurring gender norms. Von Snap appears at The Odditorium, Ole Shakey’s, and Blue Ridge Pride events. Sisco uses drag as a political platform and organized the 2018 Blue Ridge Pride pageant to include, for the first time, individuals of all genders (Miss, Mr., or Mx). Sisco discusses pageant drag in the southern states, how the drag scene in Asheville has changed over the last five years, and receptiveness to drag in the gay community. He also explains the ways in which Kaleb Sisco and Ginger Von Snap are different and the ways they work to support each other.
