The sources document several ACLU fundraisers tied to the Turning Point U.S. Gay drag show, including about $25,000 at a Bushwick event and about $20,000 in New York, but none reports a cumulative tour total of $50,000 as of 2026-08-19.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… then I want you to bring into that this touring the country drag show that specifically mocks, celebrates, and is put together poorly from a creative standpoint, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here's the quick clip you've probably seen on X. Thank you. So the tour is Turning Point Us. Gay, uh, and it's hosted by the drag queen Erica Quirk. They've raised 50,000 dollars for the ACLU. Good bedfellows. So think about that. Mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk is actually a fund fundraising effort from, or for, the ACLU.

Context. PinkNews reports that a single April 16 Bushwick event raised more than $25,000 for the ACLU, which is a single-event figure rather than a tour total.[1]
Context. Irish Star reports that the April 16 New York performance raised about $20,000 for the ACLU, again a single-event figure.[2]
Context. LGBTQ Nation reported in January 2026 that the performer had raised nearly $7,250 for the ACLU, an earlier snapshot predating the tour's later events.[3]
Context. A later August 2026 report describes the touring Turning Point US Gay show as raising money for the ACLU but the excerpt gives no cumulative total, so it does not confirm or refute the $50,000 figure.[4]
