We're Here

Makes me laugh, makes me cry, makes me questioning about my own life and my community. This is one of that shows that is not about queers or drag queens, it's just about life, love and accept who you are. Two thumbs up!

If one is curious why drag culture and community is so important, I really encourage you to watch this show. Every time I'm at a live show the end show celebration is what courses thru my spirit. Three incredibly brave queens travel to areas of oppression, bringing people into themselves, confronting LGBT+phobia with fearlessness and instigating important dialogue.

So fun, so funny with a heart and message of acceptance. Beautiful show that embraces the world as it is now, not as we'd like it to be. You don't have to be a fan of drag to appreciate stories of different lives, different world and different beliefs coming together.

So far so good. Just one episode in and completely enjoyed the hour. The drag performers were familiar to me, and I was concerned this might be the usual fare or too contrived. It was neither. The stories were told in an authentic manner. I look forward to seeing the other episodes in the series.

I am an old (71), straight white guy. This show makes me wish I was a drag queen, but I am afraid that that ship sailed for me many years ago. I just can't dance (or walk) anymore. Alas. I don't know what I expected when I started watching "We're Here," but what I got is transformative (in more ways than gender identification). This show is about EMPOWERMENT! It is amazing to see how preforming in drag unleashes the power in people who have been repressed and suppressed by society. When common folk, too often looked down upon by the community for their sexual orientation, can unabashedly display a cross-gender identity and proudly expose the breadth and depth of their inner power, it becomes a joyous event for everyone! The language is raw and uncensored, but otherwise this is entertainment for the whole family. My wife and I feel empowered just watching this show. It also makes us hopeful, watching people overcome the bondage of gender-identity. If "regular people" can publicly eschew their gender issues by performing in drag, then we can each overcome anything! The three gorgeous gay souls who headline the show travel to a different town each episode, spreading the drag gospel to the unenlightened by introducing them to the world of drag. Some people are resistant to these "drag evangelists," but the townspeople who participate in or attend the drag show display a sense of excitement and joyousness similar to religious ecstasy. May the Drag-God bless all of these fabulous queens, and the rest of us too! Amen!
