As the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race reach the precipice of crowing their 15th winner, states across the country are attempting to criminalize drag performances and transgender individuals altogether. Luckily, RuPaul and his fellow judges are using their platform to speak out against hate.

News at the season 15 finale on April 1. “The more people that watch the show, or see a local drag show, or get to know their local drag queen, or go to a drag queen story hour, [they] will realize there’s nothing but joy and positivity associated with drag.”
He added, “This manufactured fear is really a bunch of nonsense.”
On the other hand, Michelle Visage pointed out that drag is supposed to be disruptive.
