So far, I have been to three drag shows in my life — the first being at my alma mater, Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, and the last two being at a restaurant called Hamburger Mary’s — and each time was more fun than the last. It is a unique and thoroughly entertaining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who is even remotely curious about witnessing such an event, especially during Pride Month.
However, let’s say, for whatever reason, June is not a good time for you to go out and see live a drag performance or, perhaps, something is keeping you from participating in one yourself, but you still want to get a taste of the culture in honor of this month’s celebrations. Well, look no further than the following great LGBTQ+ movies — ranging from dramas to documentaries — that put a spotlight on drag performers in a fun, but sometimes also raw and honest, fashion.
