The late drag icon José Julio Sarria will be inducted into the Palm Springs Walk of Stars this December. It will be the culmination of a monthslong tribute to the LGBTQ rights pioneer in the Southern California city. On October 11, which also happens to be National Coming Out Day, the José Sarria Pop-Up Museum will open to the public inside Palm Springs' historic Welwood Murray Memorial Library. It is set to close December 14, three days after a gala 100th Jubilee celebration for Sarria is to be held at the library Sunday, December 11.
