B.J. Daniels has enjoyed a long-standing connection with the LGBTQ community. Over the course of more than 40 years, Daniels has been known as one of the foremost figures in the field of drag entertainment in Wisconsin.
The first public meeting to discuss the needs of the LGBTQ community was hosted by Daniels after Ross Walker and Erv Uecker had provided the initial funding for the establishment of the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center, an achievement that Daniels regards as one of their greatest. During their career, Daniels has been awarded a number of citations and civic honors. They are also the co-author, together with Michail Takach, of “Milwaukee Drag: Seven Generations of Glamour," available at local independent booksellers.
Daniels is a member of the board of the nationally recognized Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project, an organization which is committed to preserving and recording the stories of the LGBTQ community in Wisconsin.
