Weapons of Mass Seduction at Culture Lab LIC
2026-06-11 19:30 - 2026-06-21 19:30 | Culture Lab LIC, 5-25 46th Avenue, Long Island City, New York, NY, 11101, United States
June 11-21
Under an even more Trump-than-Trump president — the bombastic Karen Blare — the United States is waging a “culture war” against its new enemy: woke Canada. Determined to win the fight without casualties (or headlines), Blare demands a new kind of non-lethal weapon. Her loyal but dim-witted General Fardmann has the perfect idea: resurrect the long-rumored “Gay Bomb.”
To make it work, they must thaw out Professor. Victor Vexx — a brilliant, genderfluid chemical weapons scientist frozen since the summer of love in 67 — and assign CIA agent Valerie Steele to keep them in check.
But as Vexx sets their sights on sparking a queer revolution from within, Blare’s administration prepares to test the bomb on a small conservative Southern town. When the plan leaks, chaos erupts. Glitter flies, loyalties shift, and the battle lines between repression and liberation blur in an explosion of camp, color, and chemical warfare.
This piece detonates a glittery critique of military machismo, political hypocrisy, and homophobia — flipping the script so that queer people aren’t the victims of the system, but the ones who joyfully, fabulously, and furiously blow it up from the inside.
