‘Diva’ dumped after complaints

Complaints about controversial drag queen Shirley Q. Liquor being slated to host the Divas Rock Atlanta concert resulted in pulling the character from the lineup, event organizers said this week.

Gay non-profit groups set to benefit from the Dec. 10 concert said they are pleased the performer, gay actor Chuck Knipp, was removed from the show and are now looking forward to the first-of-its-kind event for Atlanta.

Another host hasn’t been selected yet, said Samuel Palmer, who is organizing the event with Dixon Taylor.

The for-profit event at the Atlanta Civic Center — featuring 10 performers including headliner RuPaul, Deborah Cox, Martha Wash and Deborah Gibson — could raise enough money for organizers to donate between $5,000 to $10,000 to each of the six beneficiaries, according to some officials with the benefiting agencies.
