) - The month of June is Pride Month -- and for the first time the Mobile Carnival Museum has a new exhibit -- showcasing the LGBTQ community.“Visibility matters. So I think this couldn’t be a better way to kick off Pride in Mobile because Mobile is about Mardi gras -- and that’s for everybody,” said Dr. Natalie Fox, City of Mobile LGBTQ Liaison.
“How many museums do you have Cher and Freddie Mercury on display,” said Cart Blackwell, Mobile Carnival Museum Curator. “I think this particular piece is very telling -- this is the original board members of the Order of Osiris from the early 1980s -- when it was a very brave thing to come out and to form an organization. So these people are very historically important for what they accomplished,” explained Blackwell.
The museum started collecting artifacts six weeks ago -- including royal costumes from Jasyn Fowler and husband Jamie Avera -- when they were Kings of the Krewe of Phoenix in 2019.
