It was during reign 26 that Cincinnati experienced the closing of a long time iconic bar in the LGBT community's nightlife for over 34 years, The Dock, which closed to make the way for nearby bridge improvements. The monarchs carried on traditions during the rain like the chili cook-off, the cookie bake-off, Cocktails for Cause, along with hosting the Cincinnati Business Pageant, family bowling and the Easter egg hunt. New things that were done during Reign 26 included having a monthly game night on the second Thursday of the month at Old Street Saloon along with deciding to assign each pageant to a particular Charity. Reign 26 was represented at 14 coronations throughout the ICS: Chicago, Lexington, Nebraska, San Diego, Connecticut, Hamilton, New Mexico, Buffalo, New York, Salt Lake City, Iowa, Oklahoma, a Washington DC, and the newest chapter in Florida. During Reign 26 the ISQCCBE became the mother court of the Sovereign imperial Court in Indiana along with both Steve and Brooklyn being presented as honorary citizens of San Diego. The ISQCCBE also supported the International Imperial Court System's initiatives set forth by Queen Mother I of the Americas, Nicole the Great: Get Out The Vote, Erase Hate, Year of the Woman, Stonewall's 50th Anniversary, and cancer awareness. Reign 26 also represented at three pride festivals: Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, and the first pride parade in Lawrenceburg, IN. Steve and Brooklyn also attended the Lexington pride festival to support our sister Court.
Coronation 27 was held on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at the Cincinnati Weston. The theme was adopted by the board of directors from Reign 25's ball, the Queen City Gala, to be used for all ISQCCBE Coronations moving forward. Coronation 27 celebrated the amazing a noble deeds of the ISQCCBE Reign 26, the decade year of empress Brooklyn Steele-Tate along with the crowning of Anna Mosity Empress 27 and Mike Burke Emporer 17 who stepped up as Regent Emperor 27.
