The White House invited Marti Gould Cummings, a nonbinary drag queen who has repeatedly attacked police online, to attend the Respect for Marriage Act signing ceremony Tuesday.
Cummings thanked President Biden and first lady Jill Biden and shared an image of the digital invitation in a social media post Monday. Last week, the House passed the legislation, which mandates the federal government recognizes same-sex marriages instates where they are legal, in a 258-169 vote that included 29 Republican votes days after the Senate approved the bill in a 61-36 vote.
"To be a non binary drag artist invited to the White House is something I never imagined would happen," Cummings tweeted. "Thank you President & Dr. Biden for inviting me to this historic bill signing. Grateful doesn’t begin to express the emotions I feel."
Following the tweet and reports related to previous posts, Cummings locked multiple social media accounts from public view.
Cummings is a New York City-based "drag artist, television personality and political figure," according to Cummings' website. The site adds that Cummings "has been a regular fixture" in the city's nightlife and regularly performs six shows a week.
