This year’s theme, “APOQYLPSE,” shed light on transgender lives and embraced non-binary, gender non-conforming individuals.

Over the weekend, the annual Fireball took over the Ojibwe Ballroom on the UW-Eau Claire campus. Nearly two hours into the drag show’s sold out Friday night, performer Khloe Wold halted her performance to call up those in the crowd identifying as transgender or gender fluid – and celebrate this year’s theme.
