The Education & Referral Organization for Sexuality (EROS) at San Francisco State University held its 17th annual Sexuality Resource Fair, featuring performances from San Francisco-based drag artists Kochina Rude and Danni Blackman. The fair provided students with free resources on sexual health, including contraceptives, feminine hygiene products, pregnancy tests, and information on sexual health support groups. EROS also collaborated with other on-campus groups like the Queer & Trans Resource Center and Women's Center to distribute these resources.

Why it matters

The Sexuality Resource Fair aims to destigmatize conversations around sexual health and education, providing a public space for students to engage with these topics without judgment. The inclusion of drag performers like Kochina Rude, who educates her audience on opioid overdose prevention, also highlights how the event integrates harm reduction into its programming.

The details

During the fair, Rude gave a lighthearted demonstration on how to reverse an opioid overdose using CPR techniques and by administering Naloxone, which is available for free to students through EROS and the Queer & Trans Resource Center. Blackman, a first-time drag performer, made his debut with lip-sync renditions of emo songs, embodying his "moody emo boy" persona. The fair also featured a dildo ring toss activity and a sex trivia night hosted by EROS later that evening.

  • The 17th annual Sexuality Resource Fair took place on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.
  • EROS has been hosting the Sexuality Resource Fair since 2009.

What they’re saying

“I took what I had been taught and translated it to queer nightlife audiences…especially in a post-fentanyl world, people who were not historically at risk for opioid overdoses now are experiencing those risks.”

— Kochina Rude, Drag Artist

“The idea of doing drag myself is really new and I just have a lot of supportive people in my life to give me the opportunity to do that and try it. I was like, 'Why not just exaggerate this moody emo boy that I always am and really bring him to life?'”

— Danni Blackman, First-time Drag Performer

“What we did today, having a place to be publicly sex positive, regardless of judgment from bystanders, is the most important aspect of this. There's a liberation and a freedom to be had in doing this sort of thing publicly without care for how other people feel about it.”

— Holly Mesa, Assistant Director, Queer Alliance

What’s next

EROS plans to host a sex trivia night later that evening following the Sexuality Resource Fair.

The takeaway

The Sexuality Resource Fair provides a vital platform for destigmatizing conversations around sexual health and education, empowering students to engage with these topics openly and without judgment. The integration of harm reduction strategies, like Kochina Rude's opioid overdose prevention demonstration, also highlights how the event aims to address pressing public health concerns within the campus community.
