We're Here (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Gettysburg, Pennsylvana - full transcript

You know it's been 15 years?
You remembered everything.

I was sure
you wouldn't be there.

- Why did you text me?
- You texted "run" back.

That's what set everything off.

I've been
totally honest with you.

Is anyone totally honest?

What, are you in trouble?

WE'RE

HERE.

WERK.

THIS IS GETTYSBURG,



PENNSYLVANIA.

HI, GUYS, WE HAVE A

SHOW.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

DO I SCARE

YOU?

NO.

DO I MAKE YOU

NERVOUS?

NO, YOU DON'T.

GIVE ME A HUG.

YOU'RE SO SWEET.

BYE.

SO, I AM



THE MOST CLASSY WOMAN IN

"THE COLOR PURPLE" RIGHT NOW.

I'M "THE COLOR PURPLE" WITH THE

BLACKER VERSION.

"THE COLOR BLURPLE."

WE'RE CAUSING A SCENE IN

GETTYSBURG.

WHERE'S THE PETITE CHILDREN'S

SECTION?

WHY YOU LAUGHING?

WHAT SIZE DO

Y'ALL'S SHOES GO UP TO?

YOU GOT A 14, 15?

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE, LIKE,

A 14 AND UP SECTION?

HAVE YOU GUYS SEE A

DRAG SHOW BEFORE AT ALL?

NO.

NO?

NO.

WE'RE

HERE IN TOWN, AND WE'RE DOING A

DRAG SHOW.

NO.

YES.

WHOA.

WE'RE ACTUALLY TAKING SOME

LOCALS FROM RIGHT HERE IN

GETTYSBURG, TURNING THEM INTO

FIERCE DRAG QUEENS.

YES, MOMMA.

HOLLA LU.

AND WE'RE

GONNA PUT ON ONE HELL OF AN

AMAZING SHOW.

THANK YOU.

BYE.

YOU CAN TELL

THE NICE LADY I'M DONE.

I'LL NEVER BUY ANYTHING IN HERE

AGAIN.

ALL THESE FREAKIN' FREAKS.

OKAY, WELL, SEE YA.

OKAY.

HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

HERE WE GO.

THERE WE GO.

OH.

OKAY.

WELL,

OBVIOUSLY WE'RE HERE.

WE GOT OUR CARS, OUR VEHICLES

ARE SHINY.

WE LOOK RIGHT, WE LOOK TIGHT, WE

LOOK FABULOUS.

PUT THIS

HOMOSEXUAL PILLOW RIGHT HERE.

WE DON'T KNOW

WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE

YET.

WE DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE'S

GONNA ACCEPT US.

SO, WE'RE GONNA SET UP A SAFE

SPOT WHERE ME, SHANGY, AND

MISS BOB HAVE OUR OWN PLACES FOR

OUR PEOPLE AND OURSELVES.

WHERE WE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE.

THERE ARE

PEOPLE IN EVERY TOWN WHO DON'T

FEEL EMPOWERED TO BE STANDING UP

AND BE THEMSELVES.

AND, HOPEFULLY, IN DOING THESE

DRAG SHOWS IN THESE COMMUNITIES,

WE'RE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT

FEELING OF, LOOK, I'M NOT BY

MYSELF.

OKAY.

WERK THIS THING.

I'M SO EXCITED.

YOU BRENDA?

LET'S SEE.

DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR A

PROFESSIONAL?

NO.

NO.

SURPRISE.

YES, HONEY.

I'VE HEARD THAT YOU MIGHT WANT

TO DO A DRAG SHOW, AND I'M HERE

TO SUPPORT THAT.

AND TO CHAT WITH YOU SOME ABOUT

DRAG.

'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, SHE'S A

PROFESSIONAL.

OH, YEAH, I MEAN,

GIRL.

YOU'RE SO SWEET.

SO, YOU GOT SOME TIME TO CHAT

WITH ME TODAY?

YOU'RE SO SWEET.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

DO YOU EVER PAINT

PEOPLE UP IN HERE?

OH, ALL THE TIME.

DO YOU NEED A TOUCH-UP?

YES, GO ON, GIVE ME

SOMETHING.

DO YOU WANT TO

TOUCH UP?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

COME HERE.

COME INTO MY OFFICE.

OKAY, I LIVE.

RIGHT IN MY OFFICE.

PERFECT.

OH, GENIUS.

FACE ME TOWARDS THE LIGHTS.

TAKE A SEAT.

WE'RE JUST GONNA TOUCH UP A

LITTLE BIT OF THE BROW.

OKAY.

A LITTLE BIT OF

SOMETHING.

DID YOU HAVE ANY,

LIKE, GAY MENTORS, OR FRIENDS?

I HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S,

LIKE, SUPER IMPORTANT IN MY

LIFE.

AND HE AND I ARE, LIKE, BEST GAY

FRIENDS.

BUT NOW, HE'S OFF, HE'S

THRIVING, HE'S LIVING HIS LIFE.

HE'S DOING GREAT.

YES, WHERE?

HE'S IN PHILLY.

THAT'S WHY I GO TO PHILLY ALL

THE TIME.

OH, SO HE MOVED TO

A BIG CITY?

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

YES.

YES.

HOW DID IT FEEL TO

YOU WHEN HE LEFT?

IT WAS -- IT

DEFINITELY WAS HARD, 'CAUSE IT

WAS SOMETHING THAT, LIKE, WE

SPENT ALL OF OUR TIME TOGETHER.

CONSTANTLY.

DOING, LIKE, THE GAYEST THINGS.

BUT, LIKE, SO WHEN YOU LOSE THAT

KIND OF PART OF YOU, YOU FEEL

LIKE, YOU DON'T FEEL AS FULL OF

YOURSELF.

RIGHT.

IS THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO

DO?

I'VE MOVED AWAY A

LOT.

BUT EVERY TIME I GO AWAY

SOMETHING, LIKE, HAPPENS IN MY

LIFE.

WHERE I HAVE TO COME BACK.

LIKE, YOU CAN KIND OF GET IN A

DEPRESSIVE STATE WHEN YOU COME

BACK TO A PLACE YOU DON'T WANT

TO BE AT AGAIN.

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE, I FEEL LIKE

I AM, LIKE, A CONFIDENT PERSON.

BUT I DON'T LOVE WHERE I AM.

BUT WHAT DO YOU

KNOW ABOUT DRAG?

I'VE BEEN AROUND THE

DRAG SCENE A LOT.

I'VE PUT FRIENDS IN DRAG BEFORE.

BUT I'VE NEVER REALLY FULLY -- I

FEEL, LIKE, PERSONALLY

EMBRACED IT.

YES.

ONE THING THAT I LOVE, IN BEING

A DRAG ENTERTAINER AND AN

ARTIST, IS THAT WE CARRY A

CERTAIN LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE WITH

US.

THAT, HOPEFULLY, IS INFECTIOUS

AND INSPIRES OTHER PEOPLE TO

FEEL THE SAME.

BEFORE YOU ROLL OUT OF THIS TOWN

AGAIN, I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE

YOU HAVE A PURPOSE IN EVERY

SPACE YOU'RE IN.

DRAG IS ABOUT EMPOWERMENT.

YOU ARE TRANSFORMING INTO A MORE

CONFIDENT VERSION OF YOURSELF,

THAT FEELS MORE COMFORTABLE,

REALLY BEING YOU.

WHO ARE THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE?

HELLO.

HI, OH, ALL THE DIVAS, HELLO.

ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL TAKE CARE, NOW.

AND I'LL BE COMING BACK FOR MY

DISCOUNT VERY SOON, OKAY?

I'M A PROFESSIONAL.

WHEN YOU SEE HOW

PRETTY THESE SOUTHERN MONUMENTS

ARE, IT'S LIKE YOU ALL GOT SOME

NICE TROPHIES FOR LOSING.

I'M A BORN AND BRED NATIVE OF

GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

AND I'M SENIOR ASSOCIATE

DIRECTOR OF ADMISSION AND

COORDINATOR FOR MULTI-CULTURAL

ADMISSION AT GETTYSBURG COLLEGE.

RACISM AND INTOLERANCE IS JUST A

PART OF THE FABRIC OF WHERE WE

ARE.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS

COMMUNITY CHANGE AND EVOLVE, SO

I, FRANKLY, ENJOY BEING KNOWN IN

THIS TOWN AS A STRAIGHT ALLY TO

GAY PEOPLE.

IF I'M NOT WILLING TO LIVE IN

THE SHOES OF SOMEBODY WHO DOES

DRAG, THEN HOW COULD I EXPECT

SOMEONE TO UNDERSTAND MY

EXPERIENCES AS A BLACK MAN?

I'M BOB.

BOB THE DRAG QUEEN.

I'M DARRYL.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO TOWN.

I'M HAPPY

TO BE HERE.

HI, I'M

EUREKA, DAVID, A.K.A. ALL OF THE

ABOVE.

THIS IS YOUR DRAG KIN?

YEAH,

THIS IS MY DRAG DAUGHTER.

OH.

IS THAT A THING?

OH, YEAH,

I'M YOUR MOM NOW.

SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN

TO BE MY DRAG MOM?

WHAT DRAG MOMMA?

DRAG --

A DRAG

MOTHER.

I'M JUST GONNA, I'M GONNA TEACH

YOU ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A

DRAG QUEEN.

AND ALSO, A LOT OF TIME, YOUR

DRAG MOM IS THE ONE WHO PUTS YOU

IN DRAG FOR THE FIRST TIME.

OR SOMEONE THAT YOU ASK TO BE

YOUR DRAG MOM.

OKAY.

SO, I'M

GONNA, LIKE, TEACH YOU THE ROPES

ABOUT DRAG.

IF I'M GONNA BE YOUR

DRAG SON, I NEED TO BE ULTRA

PRETTY.

YOU'RE MY

DRAG --

ULTRA PRETTY.

YOU'RE MY

DRAG DAUGHTER.

I'M YOUR DRAG

DAUGH -- TEACH ME THINGS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, I'M GONNA BE YOUR DRAG --

I AM

TEACHING YOU, MY CHILD.

THANK YOU, ALL RIGHT.

I AM

BESTOWING KNOWLEDGE UPON YOU.

I AM GONNA BE YOUR

DRAG DAUGHTER.

AND I WANT TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

OH,

YOU'LL STUN THE CHILDREN.

THIS I WANT TO BE

BEAUTIFUL.

I THINK

HAVING A POPULAR, PROMINENT

BLACK MEMBER OF THE GETTYSBURG

COMMUNITY EMBRACING

COUNTERCULTURE, IS GOOD FOR

PEOPLE TO SEE THAT IN THE

COMMUNITY.

SO, I NEED A DRAG

NAME.

CAN I BE DARRYLINA OF THE HOUSE

OF JONESES?

I THINK

YOU HAVE THE NAME.

THAT IS IT.

I LOVE

IT.

DARRYLINA OF THE HOUSE OF

JONESES.

DARRYL -- I'M DARRYLINA OF THE

HOUSE OF JONESES.

I LOVE

THAT.

I'M THE DAUGHTER I

NEVER WAS.

I FEEL LIKE THAT.

DAUGHTER,

DAUGHTER.

DAUGHTER/MOTHER BOND

IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN

THE WORLD.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, DOGGIES.

HI.

HI, ERICA, HOW

ARE YOU?

COME ON, COME HERE.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M DAVID.

OH, I'M GOOD, HOW ARE

YOU?

NICE TO MEET YOU.

A.K.A.

EUREKA.

YOU'RE ADORABLE.

AFTER YOU.

AFTER YOU.

OKAY.

COME ON.

COME ON.

THIS IS MY HUSBAND, ADAM.

HI, HI ADAM, HOW

ARE YOU?

WE'RE GONNA BE FAMILY BEFORE THE

WEEKS OUT SO MIGHT AS WELL GET

THE HUGS IN.

THE SNUGS IN.

CAN I SIT WITH YOU ALL?

YEAH.

OH, MY GOD.

SO, HOW ARE YOU?

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

GOOD, NERVOUS.

NERVOUS?

YEAH.

A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH.

AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE HAD SOME

ISSUES, LIKE, GOING ON WITH YOUR

FAMILY.

DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT

HAYLEY?

THAT'S WHO WE'RE HERE FOR.

RIGHT?

OH, YEAH.

IT'S THAT

SENSITIVE, HUH?

IT'S SENSITIVE.

YEAH, IT'S

OKAY.

I'M SENSITIVE.

MY KIDS MOVED OUT

EIGHT MONTHS AGO TO LIVE WITH

THEIR DAD.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN EIGHT

MONTHS.

SO WHAT'S

GOING ON WITH THAT?

IT ALL STARTED WHEN

HAYLEY CAME OUT.

THE NIGHT THAT SHE CAME OUT, IT

WAS AT HER HOLIDAY CONCERT.

SHE WAS IN THE CHOIR AT THE

SCHOOL.

SHE GOES, I HAVE SOMETHING TO

TELL YOU.

I'M, I THINK I'M BI.

AND --

OKAY.

I SAID, YOU KNOW, I

STILL LOVE YOU.

BUT THIS ISN'T WHAT GOD WANTS

FOR YOU, AND YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU KNOW, WE WERE BROUGHT UP IN

A VERY CHRISTIAN, CONSERVATIVE

WORLD, REALLY.

AND IT WAS THE -- I JUST LOST MY

DAUGHTER TO THE ENEMY.

OH, TO SATAN?

THAT WAS --

I WOULD SAY THINGS LIKE, YOU'RE

NOT GAY.

AND THE LOOK ON HER FACE.

LIKE, I CAN THINK BACK, AND THE

LOOK ON HER FACE JUST -- I MEAN,

IN JANUARY, I FOUND HAYLEY'S

DIARY.

AND THE THINGS THAT SHE HAD

WRITTEN IN THAT DIARY SCARED ME

TO DEATH.

HOW COULD I MAKE MY DAUGHTER

FEEL LIKE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO

LIVE ANYMORE?

I CAN'T BREATHE.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY, TAKE A BREATH.

THIS IS A LOT

THAT YOU'RE ADMITTING.

AND YOU'RE BEING HONEST, AND

YOU'RE LETTING A LOT OF EMOTION

OUT.

IT'S OKAY.

I PROMISE IT'S OKAY.

MOMMA'S GONNA BE OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

I JUST MISS THEM SO

MUCH.

I CAN ONLY

IMAGINE.

EVERY LGBTQ'D MEMBER OF SOCIETY

GOES THROUGH SOME SORT OF

PROCESS LIKE THIS.

SO, I GET IT.

I MEAN, MY MOM IS MY WORLD, BUT

WHEN I CAME OUT TO HER AS GAY,

SHE DIDN'T TALK TO ME FOR SIX

MONTHS.

SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT

ME TO TOUCH HER ANYMORE.

I HAD ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

AND I WENT AWAY TO WHAT THEY

CALL PENINSULA HOSPITAL IN

KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE.

AND WHEN MY MOM CAME THERE, I

THINK THE IDEA OF HER LOSING ME

MADE HER REALIZE THAT SHE NEEDED

TO LISTEN, YOU KNOW.

SO THERE'S, THERE'S HOPE HERE.

IF YOU COULD SAY SOMETHING TO

THEM NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

YOU KNOW.

I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE A LOT TO DO

THIS WEEK.

SO, WE'RE GONNA BE GETTING INTO

DOING THE DRAG PERFORMANCE

ASPECT.

'CAUSE I THINK THE GOAL IS TO,

LIKE, SHOW HAYLEY SPECIFICALLY A

REPRESENTATION OF HOW YOU'VE

CHANGED RIGHT?

TELL A STORY.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO MAKE EXCUSES.

WE'RE HERE TO TAKE

RESPONSIBILITY.

AND TO SHOW CHANGE.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE GOAL.

THANK YOU.

NO, GO AHEAD,

WE'RE HERE.

I'M GONNA

TRY TO ENGAGE WITH THE LOCALS.

HELLO, SIR, HOW ARE

YOU?

GOOD.

YOU KNOW, I'M HAVING A SHOW ON

TUESDAY NIGHT.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A DRAG

SHOW BEFORE?

NO.

NO?

WE'RE DOING A

SHOW ON TUESDAY.

YOU SHOULD COME WITH THE FAMILY.

SEE YA, BUD.

HI, HOW ARE YOU

GUYS?

HELLO.

YOU DON'T

HAVE TO DIVERT, YOU CAN WALK

THIS WAY.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

DON'T BE SCARED.

NO, I'M KIDDING.

HEY, SIR.

SIR.

HOLD ON, WAIT UP, HONEY.

DO Y'ALL HAVE A LOT OF GAY

PEOPLE HERE?

I WOULD SAY IT'S

FAIRLY HALF AND HALF.

I MEAN, I DON'T REALLY PAY

ATTENTION.

HALF AND HALF.

YOU LITERALLY THINK 50% OF THE

PEOPLE IN THIS CITY IS GAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU GREW

UP IN GETTYSBURG.

WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE TONE OF

THIS TOWN?

IT'S STILL SOMEWHAT

CONSERVATIVE.

BUT IT'S MAKING PROGRESS.

I MEAN, IN THE END, IF YOU CUT

YOURSELF, AND I CUT MYSELF, WE

ALL BLEED RED.

THAT'S A VALID

POINT.

I MEAN, IT'S THE SAME

THING LIKE A COLORED PERSON.

I HAD THIS FRIEND IN

HIGH SCHOOL, I TELL THIS STORY

ALL THE TIME.

YOU CAN'T, YOU

CAN'T SAY "COLORED."

COLORED.

"COLORED" IS

INAPPROPRIATE.

BUT -- SORRY.

WHATEVER,

WE'RE NOT IN THE FUCKING '30S.

I KNOW.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT

IS INTERESTING?

I DID A LITTLE SCOUTING AROUND

YOUR TOWN.

I'M GONNA GUESS I'M FAIR IN

SAYING THERE'S NOT A HUGE AMOUNT

OF DIVERSITY IN GETTYSBURG AREA?

I WOULD SAY SO.

RIGHT?

YEAH.

AND SO, BEING A

QUEER PERSON, A GAY PERSON, I'M

GUESSING THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF

GAY PEOPLE, AT LEAST OPENLY OUT.

MAYBE, I FEEL LIKE

THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE,

JUST, THEY DON'T HAVE THE

RESOURCES, OR THEY DON'T HAVE

KIND OF, LIKE, THE AIR -- OR

THE COMFORT LEVEL TO COME OUT.

THEY'RE SCARED.

THEY'RE SCARED.

WE'LL TAKE YOU

DOWNSTAIRS TO, LIKE, THE

BASEMENT.

'CAUSE THE BASEMENT'S NICE.

IT'S VERY BASIC.

BUT IT'S KIND OF ALL I NEED.

JUST A LOT OF COUCHES.

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD

GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL AND STILL

BE LIVING IN MY PARENTS

BASEMENT.

LIKE

IT'S SUCH AN EYE ROLL.

IT'S USUALLY JUST ME, KIND OF.

JUST EITHER, LIKE, HANGING OUT.

PLAYING AROUND, LIKE, WITH

MAKEUP THAT I HAVE DOWN HERE AND

THINGS LIKE THAT.

PROBABLY THE FIRST

TIME THAT I EVER REALLY, LIKE,

PLAYED AROUND WITH MAKE UP WAS

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

LITERALLY JUST PUT SOME MASCARA

ON FROM, LIKE, MY MOM'S CABINET.

'CAUSE I JUST, I, LIKE, WANTED

TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF.

I'VE ALWAYS KIND OF JUST BEEN,

LIKE, SOMEONE WHO'S JUST STOOD

OUT.

JUST NORMALLY FROM THE CROWD.

AND WHEN I PUT MAKE UP ON, I

WOULD STAND OUT EVEN MORE.

I GUESS I -- IT MADE ME REAL --

LIKE, GAVE ME A REASON TO BE

LIKE, OH, WELL, NOW PEOPLE ARE

LOOKING BECAUSE YOU HAVE LASHES

ON, HUNTER.

OR NOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKING 'CAUSE

YOU HAVE, LIKE, A RED LIP ON.

I FEEL LIKE WHEN I DO, LIKE, A

FULL FACE AND STUFF LIKE THIS,

IT PROTECTS ME, AND IT MAKES ME

STRONGER.

I THINK ALMOST AS, LIKE, MY WAR

PAINT, IN A WAY.

THIS IS, THIS IS THE

BAR AREA.

BUILT AN ARM WRESTLING TABLE.

A.K.A. CRAFT TABLE.

MY WIFE WILL ACTUALLY DO HER

CRAFTS UP ON TOP OF MY HARD OAK

TABLE HERE.

BUT NO, THIS IS, I GOT MY TOM

CATS STUFF.

TOM CATS, THAT WAS MY FAVORITE

IN THE NAVY.

YEAH, AS FAR AS THE HUNTING,

THOSE ARE MY BOW KILLS OVER

THERE.

ANYTHING MOUNTED WAS RIFLE

KILLS.

HUNTER, WHEN HE WAS BORN, HE WAS

TEN POUNDS.

SO HE WAS MY CHILD.

AND LYNETTE AND I WERE LIKE, I

JUST CAME UP WITH THE NAME

HUNTER.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHEN I WAS

STARTING ALL MY HUNTING.

BUT THE FUNNY THING IS, HE

WOULDN'T HURT A FLEA.

HE WOULDN'T.

NO, HE WOULDN'T.

HE WOULDN'T.

SO I WAS LIKE, I KNEW HE WASN'T

GONNA BE A HUNTER.

SO, BUT WE KEPT THE NAME.

DO YOU THINK

ANYBODY IN YOUR FAMILY KNOWS

THAT EXPERIENCE?

I DON'T THINK THEY

DO.

I DON'T THINK THAT THEY

UNDERSTAND, LIKE, HOW HARD IT

WAS, LIKE, GROWING UP.

AND HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS.

IT FELT LIKE, LIKE YOU'RE

CARRYING, LIKE, THE HEAVIEST

BACK PACK FOREVER.

AND YOU'RE WALKING.

AND YOU JUST, LIKE, WANT TO TAKE

IT OFF BUT YOU JUST, YOU GOT TO

KEEP HOLDING IT ON.

HAVE YOU EVER DONE

ANYTHING GAY THAT YOUR FAMILY'S

COME TO?

WHETHER IT'S BEEN, LIKE, A PRIDE

OR A MAKEUP CONVENTION?

OR A SHOW -- I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH, SO, NOT REALLY.

I'VE DONE, LIKE, VERY, LIKE,

VERY GAY THINGS.

LIKE I WAS IN, LIKE, A

PERFORMANCE OF CABARET, AND,

LIKE, I WAS LIKE, I WAS LIKE,

YOU KNOW, LIKE, IN, LITERALLY

WEARING, LIKE, NOTHING.

BUT --

DID THEY COME?

THEY DIDN'T.

I REMEMBER MY MOM SAYING THAT

SHE WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

AND THEN, I JUST, I GUESS MY DAD

JUST DECIDED HE DIDN'T WANT TO

COME.

BUT --

HOW DID THAT MAKE

YOU FEEL?

I WAS -- WELL, IT'S

LIKE, IT'S A LITTLE

DISHEARTENING.

WHAT DID YOU FEEL

LIKE WHEN HUNTER CAME OUT TO

YOU?

WERE YOU NERVOUS AT ALL?

OR WORRIED FOR HIM?

OH, I WAS EX --

SCARED FOR HIM.

WORRIED WASN'T ENOUGH.

SCARED WAS THE, WHAT I WAS.

I MEAN I HEARD IT PRIOR TO HIM

COMING OUT.

WHEN WE WOULD WALK THROUGH

STORES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND HE HAD A LOT OF STRUGGLES.

BUT IN THIS TOWN, JUST GIVES 'EM

TO YOU LEFT AND RIGHT.

YOU TALK ABOUT

STRUGGLES.

HIGH SCHOOL'S THE HARDEST.

I LOOKED LIKE YOU.

I HAD GOOD SKIN, THIN.

I WAS TOO PRETTY, SO I HAD TO

MAKE MYSELF.

I GOT INK, YOU KNOW, I CUT THE

HAIR SHORT.

I WAS, LIKE, TIRED OF BEING THE

SKINNY, PRETTY GUY.

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU JUST --

NO, PLEASE, I

REMEMBER GROWING UP IN, LIKE, A

SMALL TOWN.

I'D HEAR PEOPLE, LIKE, TALKING

OR CHITTER CHATTER.

I LOVE HIM

MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS

WORLD.

AND I WAS SO SAD WHEN LYNETTE

WOULD TELL ME THE STORIES ABOUT

WHAT HE WENT THROUGH AT SCHOOL.

BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO

THROUGH THAT.

SORRY.

NO, NO --

NO, PLEASE, IT DOES

MAKE ME -- IT PULLS AT MY HEART

STRINGS, TOO.

AND I KNOW THAT IT HAS NOT

ALWAYS BEEN EASY.

AND HIM WEARING HIS MAKEUP AND

BEING WHO HE IS.

AND LOVING MAKEUP AND BEING ABLE

TO SHARE THAT, YOU HAVE TO BE,

LIKE, SUPER BRAVE AND CONFIDENT.

AND RIDING MOTORCYCLES IS PART

OF WHAT YOU LOVE.

YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND DO THAT

AROUND HERE AND NO ONE CARES.

BUT IF I WENT OUTSIDE AND

STARTED VOGUING DOWN THE STREET

AND DANCE AROUND A LITTLE BIT,

THERE'S GONNA BE SOME HEADS

GOING LIKE THIS.

[UNSURE OF

I WANT TO JOIN IN ON THAT.

YEAH, THEY WOULD.

I WANT TO

JOIN IN ON THAT.

DO YOU WANT TO

VOGUE WALKING DOWN WITH ME?

I LOVE IT.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, PAPA?

RANDY?

ZEE.

WOULD YOU EVER BE DOWN FOR

GETTING IN DRAG?

NO.

YES, I WON'T.

A MAN DOES NOT PUT

MAKEUP ON.

A MAN DOES NOT WEAR A WIG.

AND A MAN DOES NOT DRESS AS A

WOMAN.

WHAT HUNTER'S DAD HAS TO

UNDERSTAND, THAT IN SAYING THAT

HE WOULD NEVER PUT ON MAKEUP,

THAT HE WOULD NEVER DO DRAG, IT

LEADS TO YOU'RE LESS OF A MAN IF

YOU'RE GAY.

WE HAD SO MANY

PEOPLE THAT WE WERE HUGGING AT

GETTYSBURG.

OH, MY GOSH.

REALLY?

THE FREE MOM HUGS WAS

A NEW THING.

AND THE PRIDE, OF COURSE, IS THE

SECOND YEAR?

THIRD YEAR.

THIRD YEAR FOR

GETTYSBURG.

OH, THIRD YEAR

FOR GETTYSBURG.

YEP, YEP.

AND I CAME FROM THE PARKING LOT.

AND THESE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE

WALKED OUT OF THE STORE, AND

THEY LOOKED AT ME, AND THEY

LOOKED AT MY SHIRT.

AND THEY WERE LIKE, DO YOU MEAN

IT?

I WAS LIKE, OH, ABSOLUTELY.

COME HERE AND BRING IT IN.

AND I WAS LIKE, HOLY SHIT, THIS

IS AMAZING.

YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO

COME OUT, THEIR PARENTS DISOWN

THEM, DON'T ACCEPT THEM, DON'T

TREAT THEM WITH LOVE.

WE'RE GONNA STAND

IN AND KIND OF BE THAT LOVE FOR

PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET THAT LOVE.

DID YOU ALL

GET ANY NEGATIVITY?

LIKE PEOPLE NOT ACCEPTING IT?

NOT UNTIL AFTER THE

ACTUAL MARCH.

THEY HAD SIGNS WITH THE RAINBOW.

AND IT SAID "REPENT."

HORRIFIED.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE MY

NEIGHBORS THAT I THOUGHT WERE

COOL PEOPLE?

AND WOW, YOU KNOW.

AND THE MESSAGE

THEY'RE SENDING TO OUR YOUTH.

YES, YEAH.

AND, UNFORTUNATELY, I

KNOW THAT MESSAGE ALL TOO WELL.

'CAUSE I WAS ONE OF 'EM.

AND I HURT MY DAUGHTER.

I REMEMBER YOU.

OH.

YEAH.

DID YOU RUN

INTO HAYLEY AT THE PRIDE?

WAS SHE THERE?

I WAS TOLD THAT SHE

WAS BEHIND US.

AND WALKED AWAY.

SHE'S HURT.

FOR ME, IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT

TO BE OUT THERE HUGGING AND KIND

OF SAYING I'M SORRY.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, MY HUSBAND

AND I ACTUALLY CARRIED A SIGN

FOR THE MARCH THAT SAID WE USED

TO BE ONE OF THOSE CHRISTIANS.

I REMEMBER THAT.

I REMEMBER THAT SIGN.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO

BE LIKE THAT AND BE A CHRISTIAN.

WHICH IS WHY FREE

MOM HUGS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT

IDEA.

TO EMBRACE EVERYBODY HOW THEY

ARE.

I JUST WANT TO

SAY THANK YOU GUYS, THIS MEANS A

LOT TO ME.

BECAUSE, LIKE, MY MOTHER PASSED

AWAY TWO MONTHS AGO.

SORRY.

SO, LIKE, I MISS GETTING TO HUG

HER.

YOU KNOW.

I'M SO JUST -- Y'ALL'S STORIES

ARE SO FRICKING COOL.

SO IT IMPACTS, LIKE, ALL OF US,

AT ALL AGES, YOU KNOW.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A MOM.

BUT I HAVE FIVE --

YOU HAVE A MOM NOW.

YOU HAVE LOTS OF MOMS NOW.

SORRY TO GET

EMOTIONAL.

WELL, NOW SEE DON'T APOLOGIZE.

NO, NO, NO.

NO, YOU HAVE LOTS OF

MOMS NOW.

YEAH.

I GET KIND OF

EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I LOST MY

MOTHER NOT LONG AGO.

AND I CAN'T IMAGINE HAYLEY NOT

HAVING HER MOTHER IN HER LIFE.

HAYLEY REALLY NEEDS TO SEE HER

MOM BE VULNERABLE IN THIS

PERFORMANCE BECAUSE I THINK

IT'LL BRING 'EM CLOSER TOGETHER.

OH, MY GOD, OKAY, SO, I'M A

LITTLE ANXIOUS, A LITTLE

NERVOUS.

BECAUSE I HAVE TO CALL FERNANDO.

WHICH IS HAYLEY'S DAD.

ERICA'S EX HUSBAND.

I WANT TO CALL HIM AND FIND OUT

IF MAYBE HE WANTS TO TALK TO US

ABOUT HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.

HOPEFULLY, HE'LL AT LEAST BE

WILLING TO DO THAT.

AND MAYBE THAT CAN BE, LIKE, MY

CHANNEL TO HAYLEY.

SOMEONE, SOMEWAY.

SO, I'M GOING TO GIVE IT MY BEST

SHOT.

I KNOW THAT.

I GOT TO GET THIS CHILD HONEY AT

THIS SHOW.

OH, WHAT AM I GONNA SAY?

WISH I'D HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT

THAT.

SPEAK UP OH, YEAH, HIGH,

FERNANDO.

MY NAME IS DAVID, HOW ARE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WILLING

TO BE A PART OF COMING YOU KNOW?

THESE SITUATIONS CAN BE REALLY

SENSITIVE, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE

DISRESPECTFUL FOR THAT.

THANK YOU FOR CHATTING WITH ME

ON THE PHONE, HONESTLY.

ALL RIGHT, LOVE.

BYE-BYE.

BOOM.

FANTASTIC.

THIS IS SUREFIRE WAY FOR ME TO

BREAK EVERY BONE IN MY BODY.

HAVE YOU EVER PUT

ON A PAIR OF PUMPS BEFORE?

I HAVE PUT ON A PAIR

OF PUMPS.

UH-HUH, I KNEW IT

GAY.

JUST STAND UP STRAIGHT BABY.

YEAH.

NOW, WHEN YOU WALK, I WANT YOU

TO BE FISH AND WALK WITH ONE LEG

IN FRONT OF THE OTHER, LIKE YOU

WALKING DOWN A LINE.

ALL RIGHT, RIGHT

THERE'S A HOSPITALIZATION.

ALL RIGHT.

A

LITTLE...

MOVEMENT.

THAT'S LOVELY.

YOU BETTER WALK.

YES.

JUST A LITTLE

SOMETHING.

I'M A WOMAN.

AND I FEEL GOOD.

AND I FEEL GOOD.

COME ON, BE A BITCH.

ONE, TWO,

THREE.

FACE SQUARE UP.

NOW YOU JUST -- I'M GONNA SCOOT

BACK A LITTLE BIT.

YOU JUST WALK TO ME.

LIKE A BABY.

OBVIOUSLY, I'M

SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS WHOLE

SITUATION.

ARE YOU GETTING MORE EXCITED?

YES.

'CAUSE YOU'RE

GONNA BE, YOU'RE THE DIVA, OKAY?

I'M GETTING MORE

EXCITED AND LESS NERVOUS.

WELL, UNTIL

YOU'RE THERE AND THEN, YOU'RE

GONNA BE NERVOUS ALL OVER AGAIN.

YOU'RE PROBABLY FEEL LIKE YOU

WANT TO POOP YOURSELF.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

JUST DON'T.

SO, HAIR.

I WANT TO GIVE HER LONG.

SO WE HAVE,

LIKE, AN ASHIER BLOND, AND WE

HAVE A WARMER BLOND.

I LIKE BOTH OF 'EM.

YOU WANT TO

TRY THEM ON?

AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL?

YEAH, LET'S PUT THE

WIG ON, COME ON.

READY?

YEAH.

LOOK -- OH, MY LORD.

AND THEN WE

CAN ALSO SEE --

THIS IS WHAT

HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT A WIG ON

ANY GAY BOY, HONEY.

IT'S -- I MEAN,

THAT'S A FACT.

OH, MY GOD,

I'M SO JEALOUS.

I KIND OF DO LIVE FOR THIS

COLOR.

HI -- YES.

OH, OH.

SHE'S CUTE.

ARE YOU LIVING YOUR

GAY LIFE?

LISTEN SHE'S CUTE.

OKAY.

I'M LIVING MY GAY

LIFE.

IT'S GONNA BE

AMAZING.

OKAY.

I WANT YOU TO

GET EXCITED.

ARE YOU?

I AM EXCITED.

I LOVE THAT COLOR, YES.

THIS FIERY THEME, I'M

REALLY INTO.

WE NEED TO --

IT'S, LIKE,

PHOENIX-Y.

LIKE, YEAH.

YES.

IT'S A PHOENIX RISING FROM THE

ASHES.

AFTER THIS,

YOU'RE GONNA BE PROUD OF

YOURSELF.

YOUR THEME IS, LIKE,

CIVIL WAR, BIG PETTICOATS.

AND YOU WANT TO BE -- YOU WANT

TO BE BEAT, BE DRAGGED OUT.

SO, I'M THINKING ABOUT --

WELL,

WAIT, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT BEAT

MEANS.

OH.

THE

REASON WE SAY YOUR BASE IS BEAT

IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE THAT

BRUSH, AND YOU PUT THAT BRUSH

AND THAT POWDER, YOUR MUG WILL

BE BEAT.

AND THE FRONT

OF IT HAS THESE METAL CLOSURES.

THERE'S A LOT OF STEEL INVOLVED

IN THIS.

I'M

TRYING TO DO THIS CIVIL WAR

THEME WITH DARRYL.

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE USING

DRAG AS A WINDOW INTO WHAT IT'S

LIKE TO BE A PERSON OF COLOR IN

GETTYSBURG.

ALMOST THERE.

OKAY, MY PANCREAS

JUST GOT SQUASHED.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

OH, YOU

AIN'T FELT NOTHING YET,

MISS THING.

YOU'RE GONNA GAG.

BUT WHEN WE SAY "GAG," WE MEAN,

LIKE, YOU'RE GONNA BE LIKE, "OH,

MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING."

NOT LIKE --

OH, GOOD GAG.

SO, BEAT IS GOOD, GAG IS GOOD.

YEAH, I GUESS

A LOT OF THINGS THAT YOU WOULD

THINK ARE BAD ARE, IN FACT,

REALLY GREAT.

SICKENING.

OH, YEAH,

BEING SICKENING -- OH, MY GOD,

IF YOU'RE SICKENING, IF YOU MAKE

PEOPLE SIC --

THAT'S A GOOD THING?

YOU'RE

THE BEST QUEEN IN THE FUCKING

LAND.

BITCH, SHE IS --

I'M A BEAT,

SICKENING, GAGGING --

SLAYING.

NO, YOU A

GAGGY.

OH.

OH.

SEE, THEY

WILL BE GAGGING BECAUSE OF HOW

SICKENING.

BEST THING, YOU ARE GAGGING

BECAUSE YOU ARE SICKENING.

YOU HAVE MADE US SIC.

WE ARE GAGGING.

SO IS THERE DRAG

SCHOOL TO LEARN THE TERMS OF

THIS --

THE

SKREETS.

I THINK GLORIA HAS A MAKESHIFT

SHOEHORN.

I'VE JAMMED IT IN

THERE.

THIS IS HYSTERICAL.

WHOA.

SOMETHING

HAPPENED, SOMETHING HAPPENED.

OH, THE SHOE FITS

CINDERELLA.

NO, NOT REALLY.

BUT I'M, MY FOOT'S IN THERE.

YES, MOM.

MOST GAY BOYS DON'T

HAVE THE CLOSEST RELATIONSHIPS

WITH THEIR DADS.

THAT WAS GOOD.

THAT WAS GOOD.

RANDY IS LIKE,

LOOK.

I LOVE MY SON.

I AIN'T GETTING IN DRAG.

BUT I THINK THAT HUNTER'S DAD

WOULD STAND WITH HIM IN ANY

MOMENT.

BUT HUNTER HAS NEVER SEEN HIS

DAD REALLY SHOW UP IN THIS WAY

FOR HIM.

I'VE GOT TO BREAK DOWN THAT

WALL.

JUST TALKING TO HUNT,

LIKE YESTERDAY, HE WAS LIKE, WAS

LIKE, DAD, HE GOES, IT ALMOST

MADE ME CRY, 'CAUSE SPENDING THE

DAY WITH YOU, IT WAS THE BEST

DAY OF MY LIFE.

I'M ONLY HERE FOR A

COUPLE OF DAYS YOU KNOW.

BUT AS --

YEAH, IT'S AFFECTING

HIM THOUGH.

I WANT TO EMPOWER

HIM.

AND I'M GONNA SHARE THIS WITH

YOU.

HE SAID SOMETIMES LIFE FEELS

LIKE A BACKPACK FULL OF BRICKS.

AND I'M WALKING -- I'M GONNA

CRY.

HE, WHAT, HE SAID THIS

TO YOU?

OR YOU SAID IT TO HIM?

NO, HE SAID IT TO

ME.

HE SAID.

HE'S GOT SOME DEEP,

DEEP --

...SOMETIMES LIFE

FEELS LIKE A BACKPACK OF BRICKS.

AND I'M CARRYING IT AROUND, AND

I'M, I'M PUSHING THROUGH.

I'M STILL WALKING, BUT IT'S

HEAVY.

I FEEL LIKE HE HAS A CLOSE

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.

HE WANTS TO BE EVEN CLOSER.

AND BRING YOU EVEN MORE INTO HIS

WORLD.

BECAUSE HE FEELS LIKE MAYBE YOU

WANT TO GO THIS FAR, BUT NOT

THIS FAR.

WOW.

HE'S LIKE, AND I

JUST FEEL LIKE I'M TRYING TO GET

THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL

EVER BE ENOUGH.

YEAH, NO, HE, HE

DOESN'T HAVE TO TRY.

ME AND MY FRIENDS

WHO HAVE COME HERE ARE GONNA PUT

ON A SHOW WITH A COUPLE OF

PEOPLE.

HUNTER IS GONNA BE A PART OF

THAT SHOW.

AND I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO COME

IN AND BE A PART OF THE NUMBER

IN SOME WAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE SAYS,

LIKE, I WOULD NEVER DO DRAG TO

YOU?

HOW WOULD I SAY THIS?

I GUESS IT'S JUST SOMETHING I

NEVER EVER THOUGHT ABOUT.

I'M NOT -- I'M NOT WORRIED

ABOUT -- YEAH, I'M NOT

WORRIED --

YOU'RE NOT TRYING

TO BE A WOMAN.

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A

WOMAN.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BE

UNATTRACTIVE TO YOUR WIFE.

I USED TO LOOK LIKE A

WOMAN, THOUGH.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT YESTERDAY.

LIKE, I WAS VERY THIN, LONG HAIR

AND, YES, SO I HAD --

BUT YOU HATED THAT

BECAUSE PEOPLE MADE FUN OF YOU

FOR IT.

NOT REALLY FUN OF ME.

BUT IT WAS, YEAH, IT WAS LIKE,

YOU KNOW, I WAS CALLED PRETTY A

COUPLE OF TIMES.

BUT, YEAH, I WAS, THOUGH.

WELL, YOU ARE.

I MEAN YOU HAVE NICE SKIN, NICE

EYES.

NO, I MEAN, NOT NOW.

I MEAN, NOW, I'M LIKE --

...COME ON, DADDY,

YOU KNOW YOU LOOK GOOD.

NO, I JUST, NO, IT'S

JUST -- I GUESS IT'S JUST 'CAUSE

I WOULDN'T DO IT.

IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE

TO DO THAT PART IN MY SHOW,

WHICH IS OKAY, WOULD YOU BE

INTERESTED IN COMING, BRINGING

ME IN ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE?

OH, YEAH, I'D BE

HONORED.

BUT I'M GONNA BE IN

DRAG.

I'D BE HONORED,

HONORED.

I ALREADY -- YES.

YEAH?

YES.

OKAY, THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

THANKS, MAN.

THANK YOU.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND I'LL BE TOUCHING BASE WITH

YOU SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT OUR

NUMBER, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT IT.

OKAY, PERFECT.

I THINK THAT HUNTER'S DAD'S

MASCULINITY WAS CHALLENGED EARLY

ON IN HIS LIFE.

THAT'S CRAZY.

I'M TRYING TO TEACH

PAPA THAT IF HE GETS IN DRAG,

THAT HE IS ACTUALLY EVEN

STRONGER.

IT SHOWCASES EVEN MORE STRENGTH.

IT IS NOT GONNA BREAK YOU DOWN

AS A MAN TO PUT ON THIS WIG.

WE'RE GONNA

HAVE QUITE THE SHOW.

LET'S GET SOME REST.

YES.

I'M READY.

SLASH A LITTLE NERVOUS.

ARE YOU

NERVOUS?

MOSTLY -- A LITTLE

BIT.

THESE KIDS ARE

ABOUT TO GET IN FRONT OF THEIR

COMMUNITY, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE

NERVOUS.

SO WE NEED TO GET THESE GIRLS

TOGETHER, GET THEIR CONFIDENCE

UP.

HONEY, AND LET'S JUST HAVE FUN.

OH, IS THAT A

LITTLE MUSIC?

OH.

OH.

I THINK WE SHOULD

HAVE A LITTLE DANCE PARTY.

YES?

HEY.

ARM UP.

ERICA, YOU GOT

TO COME BUMP TO THIS ONE.

I DON'T DANCE.

COME ON, YOU

GOT TO GET IT ON.

WHAT AM I DOING?

JUST GIVE 'EM

ANYTHING, ERICA.

COME ON.

JUST GIVE IT, GIRL.

COME ON, HUNTY,

COME ON, HUNTY, GET OUT HERE,

HUNTY.

WATCH OUT FOR MY DAUGHTER.

SHE GONNA KICK.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY.

SEVEN, EIGHT.

OKAY,

COME ON, NOW.

THERE SHE GO, THERE SHE GO.

YES, HEY.

EUREKA, LOOK AT YOUR DAUGHTER.

MISS FRANKLYN.

OH, MY GOD.

MRS. FRANKLYN.

YOU'RE IN MY SPACE.

HUH, COME ON.

YEAH.

COME ON, ERICA.

SHE'S GIVING IT --

WERK.

YES.

OH,

EUREKA, EUREKA.

I'M SO, LIKE, EXCITED

AND, LIKE, I JUST FEEL, LIKE, SO

ELECTRIC.

IT'S GONNA BE

GREAT.

IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.

NOW, LET'S NOT GET

CONFUSED.

WE STILL GOT MORE TO DO.

YOU EXCITED?

I'M

EXCITED.

IT'S GONNA BE FUN.

ALL RIGHT, DRAG MOM.

LISTEN,

DRAG IS FUN.

IF DRAG IS NOTHING, IT IS FUN.

WELL, I'M READY.

I'M SO PROUD

OF YOU.

THANK YOU.

I REALLY AM SO

PROUD OF YOU.

WE ALL BIG TODAY.

NO DAUGHTER OF MINE'S GONNA GO

HOME LOOKING LIKE SHIT.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

THIS.

I MAY BE A LITTLE MORE STERN

WITH YOU.

I WANT THAT.

...BECAUSE I WANT

YOU TO BE YOUR VERY BEST.

RIGHT.

AND I NEED TO FEEL

LIKE WHEN I WALK AWAY FROM THIS

REHEARSAL WITH YOU, THAT NOW

IT'S IN YOUR HANDS, AND YOU GOT

IT.

OKAY.

SO, MOMMA'S GONNA BE MEAN MOMMA

FOR A SECOND.

VERY JOAN CRAWFORD.

YEAH.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

DURING THE REHEARSAL PROCESS,

THAT'S WHEN I GO TO WORK.

SO I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BABY.

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO CODDLE.

NO BABY DO AND BABY DO NOW.

I GOT TO LET YOU

I GOT TO LET YOU

LEAD, DON'T I?

YEAH, YOU

GOT TO LET ME LEAD.

YOU'RE THE GENERAL.

THE BEST WAY

TO LIP SYNC IS TO SING IT.

IS SINGING IT, RIGHT.

IF YOU WANT TO

BELT IT, GIRL, BELT IT.

NO.

I'M JUST

SAYING DON'T BE AFRAID TO.

ALL RIGHT.

I WANT YOU TO BE

SUPER CONFIDENT.

I WANT YOU, WHEN YOU STEP, I

WANT STEPS.

YEAH.

OH, SHE'S WALKING NOW.

I WILL

BOW TO YOU.

YOU WILL CURTSY TO ME.

WE WILL DO A LITTLE WALK.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

LET'S TRY TO

GO THROUGH IT AGAIN, THOUGH.

YOU WANT --

OKAY.

ARE YOU

NERVOUS?

TELL ME?

YEAH, I AM.

TALK TO ME.

IT'S COOL.

NO, I'M JUST -- LIKE,

THE PERFORMANCE PART OF IT.

YEAH,

POTENTIALLY HAYLEY MIGHT SHOW

UP.

IT'S PROBABLY SCARY.

I'M NOT GONNA HOLD MY

BREATH.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I LIKE TO

SPEAK THINGS INTO EXISTENCE.

SO WHEN HAYLEY SHOWS UP, IT'S

GONNA BE AN INTIMIDATING MOMENT.

BUT THAT'S HOW WE'RE GONNA TALK

ABOUT IT.

'CAUSE WE WANT HER THERE.

WELL, I'M GONNA GET EMOTIONAL

TALKING ABOUT IT.

IT'S OKAY, GIRL, LET'S JUST HOLD

EACH OTHER.

WILL YOU DO A ONE,

TWO, THREE, FOUR?

WELL,

WE'RE GONNA BE ON STAGE.

I CAN'T COUNT YOU IN, WE'LL BE

ON STAGE.

I CAN'T BE LIKE, ONE, TWO,

THREE.

CONFIDENT.

STEPS.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WORKED FOR.

YOU TOLD 'EM YOU WILL SURVIVE.

NOW SURVIVE.

OKAY?

LET'S GO.

LET'S DO IT.

WE GOT 20 MINUTES,

AND YOU GOT TO SHOW TOMORROW.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.

I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO WALK

OUT OF GETTYSBURG AND SAY, "OH,

I HAVE A LOVELY DAUGHTER HERE."

BUT SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO COME

CORRECT.

AND THE QUESTION IS, CAN SHE

SHAKE OFF THE ADVERSITY?

CAN SHE SHAKE OFF THE BULLYING?

CAN SHE SHAKE OFF THE SOCIETAL

PRESSURE OF THIS SMALL TOWN TO

BE THE QUEEN WHO SHE'S SUPPOSED

TO BE?

IT IS WHAT IT IS, COOKIE TOOKIE.

SAW YOU

REHEARSING.

OH, MY GOD.

ARE YOU TRYING TO SABOTAGE MY

DAUGHTER?

NO, I WAS

SHOWING HER THE -- I WAS SHOWING

HER, IN MY OPINION, FOR HER TO

HAVE THE SHANGELA FAMILY

RESEMBLANCE, YOU GOT TO DO ONE

OF THE FOUR FAMOUS SHANGELA

DANCES.

OH, WHAT ARE THE

FOUR FAMOUS -- PLEASE.

OKAY,

I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU GUYS.

SO, THE FOUR FAMOUS SHANGELA

DANCES.

THERE'S ALWAYS THIS ONE.

YEAH, THAT'S ONE.

THE

LAWNMOWER WIND UP.

LET'S DO IT.

YES.

OKAY, THAT'S TWO.

AND THEN,

THE PAS DE BOURREE.

YOU LOVE A --

A SKIP DANCE.

YES, THAT'S THREE.

SHE'S

ALWAYS, ALWAYS --

WHAT'S THE FOURTH

ONE?

ALWAYS

TRYING TO GO SOMEWHERE.

YES.

AND THE

FOURTH ONE, I DON'T HAVE THE

KNEES.

THE SLOW MOTION -- OH.

YES.

YES.

CHRISTIANITY WAS A

VERY BIG PART OF OUR LIVES.

WE WOULD PRAY BEFORE EVERY MEAL

AND GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS.

AND SHE TRIED TO CONTROL WHAT WE

BELIEVE IN.

AND WHAT WE WOULD THINK AND

THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO IF YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG,

BE CAREFUL, YOU MIGHT GO TO

HELL.

KNOWING THAT I TRULY AM BI, I

WAS JUST LIKE, MAYBE I SHOULD

COME OUT TO MY MOM.

AND MY MOM HAD THIS LOOK, I

CANNOT EXPLAIN THE LOOK.

IT WAS JUST, I WANTED TO CRY.

IT WAS THAT, LIKE, STRONG OF A

LOOK.

AFTER THAT, SHE TOLD THE CHURCH

TO PRAY FOR ME BECAUSE I WAS BI,

'CAUSE SHE THOUGHT I WOULD GO TO

HELL.

THAT ACTUALLY KIND OF HURT WHEN

I HEARD --

THEY'RE PUTTING ON

A SHOW.

AND YOUR MOTHER IS GOING TO BE

PARTICIPATING IN THAT SHOW WITH

DAVID, I BELIEVE HIS NAME IS.

SAYING SORRY CANNOT

JUST GET US BACK, SAYING, OH,

BUT I'M DOING THESE THINGS.

AND, OH, BUT I'M DOING FREE MOM

HUGS.

OR, OH, I'M IN THE LGBT

ALLIANCE.

THAT DOES NOT HELP ANY ONE BIT.

I KNOW YOUR INITIAL

REACTION IS PROBABLY HELL NO.

LIKE A FUCK-OFF TYPE?

CORRECT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, LET'S HAVE THE

DISCUSSION, AND THE QUESTION

THAT WE HAVE TO ANSWER IS --

DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.

DON'T CARE.

YOU HAVE TO CARE A

LITTLE.

I DON'T KNOW.

DO I?

OH, IT'S HOT.

DO YOU NEED A WATER?

HELLO, EVERYBODY.

HI, HOLLA LU.

DRESSING ROOMS, DRESSING ROOMS.

RIGHT, YEAH, LOVE IT.

HOW YOU DOING?

I'M GOOD, HOW ARE

YOU?

GOOD, GAME DAY,

BITCH.

HUNTER, HE'S NEVER DONE DRAG

BEFORE.

THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME.

I WANT

YOU TO WATCH YOUR STEP, 'CAUSE

THERE'S SO MANY STANDS.

AND LOOK AT THESE, LIKE, OLD

BEAMS.

ALL RIGHT.

SO DON'T GET CAUGHT

UP IN THE MOMENT.

RIGHT.

HUNTER'S GONNA BE

IN FRONT OF HIS FAMILY.

HUNTER IS GONNA BE IN FRONT OF

HIS LOCAL TOWNS PEOPLE AND

FRIENDS.

I'M NERVOUS.

LIKE, DID I GIVE HIM TOO MUCH?

IS HE GONNA FALL?

IS HE GONNA TRIP?

BITCH CAN'T EVEN WALK IN HEELS

VERY WELL YET.

NOW, I'M

GONNA ASK YOU, DO YOU WANT IT TO

BE REALLY DRAGGY?

OR YOU WANT TO BE TAME?

TAME, BECAUSE I GOT

A BLOND WIG.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT --

THAT WAS THE

WRONG ANSWER.

HOW WE DOING?

OKAY.

ARE YOU LOVING

IT?

YEAH.

WELL, I

PROMISE, YOU ARE IN THE BEST OF

HANDS.

AM I NERVOUS?

HELL, YEAH.

IN REHEARSAL, ERICA WAS SO

NERVOUS AND SCARED.

THAT I GOT REALLY NERVOUS

MYSELF.

THE CUE WILL BE THIS IS MY

STORY, SPOTLIGHT ON HER.

ALSO, HER DAUGHTER POTENTIALLY

IS GONNA BE THERE, THAT SHE

HASN'T SEEN IN EIGHT MONTHS.

FUCK.

Y'ALL

COME FROM HERE.

AND I'LL POP IN ON THIS ONE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW GETTYSBURG IS

GONNA REACT TO A DRAG SHOW,

PARTICULARLY.

BUT I DO KNOW HOW THEY WILL

REACT TO A BAD SHOW.

NO ONE LIKES A BAD SHOW.

SO WE HAVE TO PULL ALL OF OUR

RESOURCES.

WE HAVE TO DIG DEEP WITHIN

OURSELVES AND PULL OUT AN

AMAZING SHOW.

LET ME TELL YOU

RIGHT NOW, WE'VE GOT MORE PEOPLE

STANDING IN LINE THAN WE CAN LET

IN.

SO WE ARE GONNA, UNFORTUNATELY,

HAVE TO TURN SOME PEOPLE AWAY.

YOU GUYS

REMEMBER WHEN SHANGELA SAID THEY

WON'T BE SCREAMING, THEY DON'T

GO CRAZY IN GETTYSBURG?

OH, YOU KNOW WHEN

THEY FIRST SAID, "HONEY, YOU'RE

GOING TO GETTYSBURG," I SAID,

"WHAT?

IS ANYBODY GONNA COME?

IS ANYBODY GONNA SHOW UP?"

AND BITCH, I SEE THAT SOMEBODY

SHOWED UP.

YES, YES, YES.

I LOVE IT.

TONIGHT, WE ARE HERE TO

CELEBRATE INDIVIDUALITY,

ACCEPTANCE, AND LOVE.

SO, THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH.

IN GETTYSBURG, I

MOSTLY SEE A TOWN THAT IS REALLY

FRIENDLY.

BUT IF YOU SEE WHERE BLACK

PEOPLE HAD TO COME FROM, THEN WE

HAVE THAT MUCH FARTHER TO GO FOR

PEOPLE WHO ARE GAY OR LESBIAN.

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANS.

WALK IN THEIR SHOES, WALK IN THE

FOOTSTEPS OTHER PEOPLE STAND FOR

YOU.

THAT'S HOW I LIVE.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF

THE GIRLS GETTING UP HERE

TONIGHT, IT'S THEIR VERY FIRST

TIME IN DRAG.

SO YOU GUYS GOT TO SHOW THEM SO

MUCH LOVE AND EXCITEMENT.

BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING

AND PREPARING FOR YOU TODAY, TO

EXPRESS THEIR INDIVIDUALITY.

BUT ALSO TO SHARE THE LOVE THAT

GETTYSBURG HAS, OKAY?

SO, YOU GONNA GIVE 'EM SOME

LOVE?

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME

ENTERTAINMENT?

GOOD.

SO, KEEP THAT APPLAUSE GOING FOR

MY GOOD SISTER, PLEASE WELCOME,

BOB THE DRAG QUEEN.

LET'S GO,

GETTYSBURG.

PLEASE, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER

FOR DARRYLINA OF THE LEGENDARY

HOUSE OF JONESES.

TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR

EXPERIENCE THIS CRAZY, CRAZY

WEEK.

OKAY, SO CRAZY IS AN

UNDERSTATEMENT.

ARE YOU EXCITED?

YEAH.

YEAH?

YEAH.

WHEN I CAME OUT TO MY

MOTHER, I WAS VERY YOUNG.

VERY YOUNG.

HOLD MY HAND.

SHE DID NOT WANT TO HAVE

THAT CONVERSATION AT ALL.

SHE WAS VERY RELIGIOUS, AND SHE

WANTED VERY MUCH TO CONDEMN ME.

NOTHING BUT TIME CAN HEAL.

YOU GOT TO LET HER BE HER.

SHE'S GOT TO PROCESS IT THE SAME

WAY YOU HAD TO PROCESS IT.

RIGHT.

I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT THIS IS

PART OF MY STORY.

BUT I'M SCARED.

IF HAYLEY IS THERE, I HOPE THAT

SHE CAN SEE A DIFFERENT PERSON,

THAT I'M OPEN TO EXPERIENCING

DIFFERENT THINGS AND NOT TRYING

TO HOLD HER BACK FROM BEING WHO

SHE IS.

THAT WAS MY PRAYER.

DO YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH

YOUR MOM NOW?

I DO NOT.

MAKE SOME

NOISE FOR EUREKA O'HARA AND

TRINITY ROSE O'HARA.

OH, FUCK IT'S MY MOM.

IT'S OKAY.

THEY NEED TO REALIZE THAT NOT

THIS PAST COUPLE OF

DAYS, I GUESS, HAVE LITERALLY

BEEN THE MOST INTENSE OF MY

WHOLE LIFE.

I'M DANCING WITH FUCKING

SHANGELA.

AND IT'S CRAZY, AND IT FELT

REALLY STRONG AND REALLY

POWERFUL TO, LIKE, FINALLY FEEL

LIKE I HAD A VOICE.

AND I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT

WITHOUT MY FAMILY.

WHO ARE SO OPEN ABOUT

EVERYTHING.

AND SO NICE AND SO SWEET.

BUT ALSO, ALSO THE BIGGEST THANK

YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY

HEART, SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY,

SERIOUSLY GOES OUT TO SHANGELA.

I -- I FEEL LIKE SHE ENDED UP,

LIKE, SEEING SOMETHING IN ME

THAT I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF.

AND SHE PUSHED ME, AND SHE SAW

IT.

AND SHE WAS LIKE, THIS BITCH HAS

GOT SOMETHING.

YOU KNOW.

I COULD NOT HAVE

ASKED FOR A BETTER SUPPORT

SYSTEM.

TO SEE MY DAD GET SO EXCITED AND

HAPPY ABOUT IT.

AND HE WAS JUST HAVING SO MUCH

FUN.

AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS THERE,

AND HE SUPPORTED ME.

AND MY MOM WAS THERE.

AND EVERYONE, IS INSANE.

I DIDN'T EXPECT ALL THOSE PEOPLE

TO COME.

AND I FELT POWERFUL TONIGHT.

LIKE, I FELT REALLY FUCKING

STRONG, AND I STILL DO.

PACK IT

UP, HARRY, PACK IT UP.

GREAT JOB,

DARRYLINA FROM THE LEGENDARY

HOUSE OF JONESES.

SO, I DON'T

KNOW, DID YOU NOTICE THAT A

CERTAIN SOMEBODY WAS HERE?

NO.

HAYLEY WAS

HERE.

YEAH.

SHE SAW YOUR WHOLE PERFORMANCE.

SHE STAYED UNTIL THE VERY END OF

EVERYTHING.

SHE DID.

I HOPE THAT HAYLEY COMES AROUND.

YOU KNOW, THE HARDEST THING FOR

A PARENT IS TO REALIZE THAT YOUR

CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER KIDS NO

MORE.

IF ERICA FINDS STRENGTH WITHIN

HERSELF, HER DAUGHTER WILL COME

AROUND.

YOU KNOW, THE FIRST STEP IS

SHOWING UP.

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY.

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN PEOPLE THAT

SHOW UP.

RIGHT?

BECAUSE, GIRL, SHE SHOWED UP.

YOU MADE SOME BIG

STEPS TONIGHT.

DIDN'T YOU?

GIRL, I FUCKING DID.

I SEE GREAT THINGS

FOR YOU.

BUT IT'LL ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU

KEEP GOING.

IF YOU'RE

USED TO FEELING LIKE AN

OUTSIDER, AND IF WE CAN COME TO

YOUR TOWN AND THEN, FOR JUST

THIS DAY, YOU FEEL SEEN, HOW

AMAZING WOULD THAT BE?

THIS IS SOME OF THE

MOST INCLUSIVE LOVE THAT THERE

IS.

IT'S EMPOWERING.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS

COMMUNITY NEEDS.

MAYBE YOU

CAN BE COMFORTABLE IN A SMALL

TOWN WITHOUT HAVING TO FEEL LIKE

YOU NEED TO RUN AND LEAVE

BECAUSE YOU FEEL DIFFERENT.

BECAUSE MAYBE THERE'S MORE OF A

COMMUNITY IN THESE TOWNS THAT

YOU REALIZE THERE IS.

AND IF IT'S HAPPENING IN

GETTYSBURG, THEN, BITCH, IT'S

HAPPENING IN YOUR TOWN, TOO.

FOR ALL THE

DAUGHTERS INVOLVED IN THIS

PROCESS, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT

ARE COMING TO OUR SHOW, FOR THE

PEOPLE THAT JUST SAW US WALK

INTO THE TOWN, I HOPE THAT WE'VE

MADE AN IMPACT, AND I FEEL LIKE

WE HAVE.

DEFINITELY, HONEY, GETTYSBURG

WON'T FORGET.

SHANGELA LAQUIFA WADLEY, BOB THE

DRAG QUEEN, AND EUREKA.

TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT.

Hello!
We are in Twin Falls, Idaho.

How can I describe this town?

It's country as hell, okay?

Yes. I'm trying to make
a powerful group of queers

send a powerful message out
into the town.

It's hard some days
to know you're loved.

We were not considered
worthy of being happy for,

but it was still
not a worthy love.

Honey, you can't live
for nobody but yourself.

Give me a hug.

- Oop. Who is she?
- Something like that.

It takes a village
to make a queen.

It will be a reflection
of what love looks like.

Love beyond boundaries.

They seem
rough around the edges.

Are you nervous about tuckin'?
There's duct tape involved.

Get out.
