Trans drag performer says Sask. Rush's Pride night was an outpouring of love, support and fun

When the Saskatchewan Rush lacrosse team announced that trans drag artist Karma K would perform at its Feb. 25 Pride game, comments online quickly became hateful and transphobic on social media sites like Reddit and Twitter — but that negativity didn't show up at the actual game. 

Karma K found out about the backlash while she was working at her day job. 

"My friend messaged me and she was like, 'Girl don't go on the internet right now,'" she said. But Karma K went online anyway and was taken back by all the negativity.

"Obviously because it was overwhelming. There was a lot more than I was expecting going on," Karma K said. "But when it came to the actual game day, I did not have one, not even one negative look or comment."
