this was so funny and silly and heartwarming with a thoughtful and loving portrayal of the gay experience. basically: gender is a construct, binaries are a prison, julie andrews is so hot, and i love how this said so much while saying so little. gay rights!
โPre-AIDS gay media always makes me emotional. Unabashedly living as queer in the face of everything makes me emotional. I love the intimacy of this documentary so much. It's so casual and the camera revels in the queens' presence it feels like I could reach through the screen and touch them and then I get emotional again that I cannot. Crystal LaBeija, one of the most influential queens in history, you will always be loved and your legacy is your true win. I love queer flaboyancy and homosexual sensability. Not only have we always been here, but some of us have even always dared to live as we naturally are.โ

anyone who hasn't seen this, i don't care about the list you have in ur notes app, watch this one next.
about a gay rights group (comprised of flaming gays) in 80s london who support this tiny welsh town over the course of the the miners strikes. its a true story and they portrayed it in such an earnest way. its funny, and it hammers at your heartstrings big time.
cannot recommend enough
