Nevada Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto quietly honored a drag queen and self-described "faglicious homo" for his years of work with children at a local library.

During a June 26 "Drag Queen Story Time" event in Reno, Masto's office presented a "certificate of commemoration" to drag queen Miss Ginger Devine, a Washoe County Library tweet shows. Devine, who also goes by Reverend Divine and whose real name is Christopher Daniels, has performed as a drag queen in the Reno area for more than a decade and has read to children at local libraries since at least 2019. In a 2010 blog post, Daniels described himself as a "Broadway loving, Project Runway watching, rainbow scarf wearing, footlong Subway sandwich eating faglicious homo."

Cortez Masto has yet to publicly promote her award to Daniels and did not interact with the library's tweet that revealed the honor, suggesting the Democrat is hesitant to weigh in on the controversial "Drag Queen Story Time" program as she faces a difficult reelection bid against Republican Adam Laxalt.
