Erika Klash, a San Francisco-based drag queen, says that she was denied service at an Austin, Texas Whataburger restaurant on Saturday because she was dressed in drag.
— Erika Klash November 17, 2019 Klash was visiting Austin, Texas to attend the International Drag Festival. Her character of choice was Monokuma, a character from the video game series Danganronpa. Klash, who identifies as gender non-conforming and uses both she and they pronouns while in drag, was shocked that such a situation happened and worried about her safety.
According to a statement, provided to Yahoo Lifestyle and shared on Facebook on Thursday, Klash is “generally satisfied” with Whataburger's investigation."Whataburger reviewed a range of evidence including recorded statements of those involved as well as camera footage, and have not found clear evidence that the staff were acting with outright discriminatory intent when they denied me access to the restaurant," Klash wrote.
