Champion of Pride – Paris QuionParis Quion

Paris Quion is a Southern California based drag entertainer, business woman, activist and advocate for the LGBTQ community. Born and raised in San Diego California, Paris is always proud to boast about the impact the Hillcrest community has had in her upbringing and their important role in who she is today.

Her parents used San Diego’s LGBT Center Services during her coming out as well as throughout her transition which inspired her to help further their outreach now as an adult. She’s known most for being a career fundraiser, volunteer and for devoting her life, skills and resources to the betterment of the queer community with a focus on our youth and our most vulnerable community members.

Off stage she is a regular fixture in government spaces, corporate businesses, and school campuses training in LGBTQ rights and gender sensitivity. She also shares her journey as a trans person in hopes of a gentler world for community and putting a face to the possibilities of what can happen when our community is given the opportunity to thrive.
