This was followed by several days of demonstrations and was the impetus for the formation of the Gay Liberation Front as well as other gay, lesbian and bisexual civil rights organizations.
It’s also regarded as history’s first major protest on behalf of equal rights for homosexuals. On June 29th 2019, Heartland Pride will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and a half-century of LGBT+ liberation.
At an astounding twenty-one years of age, our first musician combines her observant and mature outlook on life, love, and music to write amazing, memorable songs that stick in your head. Her music and riveting live performances have the ability to capture an audience in a way few can. Whether it’s just a hand full of people or a crowd of thousands, she connects.
We are so proud to announce, Omaha’s sweetheart, BMG artist, you can download her new single Speak Up.
and Timeless
Our next acts are Omaha natives, who have been heralded as the voice of Omaha, and a treasure in our community. Collectively, they have each sold out numerous shows, and opened for chart topping artists. Seeing them individually live is an experience and moment in time, and performing for the first time together on our Heartland Pride stage, are Dominique Morgan, Enjoli, and their band Timeless.
Our next performer placed 10th in season 8 of RuPauls Drag Race, and was crowned Miss Congeniality.
Known for her positive energy and genuine heart that caught Mama Ru’s eye and earned herself a “second chance” at RuPaul’s Drag Race as was invited back for Season 9 (only the second queen in Herstory to be invited back) and coincidentally, she has been given a second chance at life as well: Currently in remission after surviving stage 1 liver cancer, and bringing her Puerto Rican Cucu to the stage, Heartland Pride 2019 is thrilled to have Cynthia Lee Fontaine perform!
RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7
Long before she held court as a finalist on season 7 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” our next performer reigned as The Comedy Queen of The South from her homebase in Orlando, Florida. The self-professed “nicest bitch you’ll ever meet” cites classic funny ladies Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball as her idols. “Anyone who can pile three wigs on their head, squeeze their body into a beaded and rhinestoned gown and serve humor alongside the glamour is my hero,”. She coined the phrase “Glamour Toad” to describe her unique persona. After spending the past year and a half touring the world, performing showtunes for Broadway royalty on national television and recording her debut studio album, and on Season Two of Drag Race all stars, Heartland Pride is excited to welcome Ginger Minj to this years amazing lineup!
Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, raised in Beijing China, and educated at the Berkley College of Music, this LA-based electro rock/pop artists music has been described as “the straightforward confessions of a young emerging singer-songwriter, introducing an emotionally introspective side of his artistic psyche”. With no-holds-barred production and stratospherically ambitious vocal delivery, he offers a fresh but accessible take on what a queer pop artist can be in the 21st century. His debut EP “Brainchemistry” debuted in the top 25 on the iTunes Pop Charts and Heartland Pride is thrilled to have ZEE MACHINE!
2019 Headliner
Better known as Queen Diva, this years headliner was recently featured in Drake’s Nice for What hit song, and his In My Feelings music video.
Known as the Queen of Bounce, Beyoncé also used her voice to open her 2016 “Formation” World Tour. After running the New Orleans club scene for over two decades, she took her bounce movement to the worldwide stage with one of the highest rated reality shows on FUSE.
A festival favorite and often known to steal the show, we know her twerk team will have the Heartland up and dancing for her entire set. We can’t wait to welcome Big Freedia to the Heartland Pride 2019 Festival.
