In episode twenty-nine of Gay Card Revoked, Rob and Robbie go back to 1968 and watch the visceral and campy Drag Queen beauty pageant of 1967, The Queen, which is a lesser appreciated piece of LGBTQIA+ cinema.
The boys look at the gay life before Stonewall, drag culture as a community foundation, the life or death stakes of a blonde fall, and an epic takedown by Crystal LaBeija, are all the beautiful little nuggets that make up this film that has been eclipsed by Paris Is Burning and RuPaul's Drag Race. And without Flawless Sabrina and Crystal LaBeija there might not have ever been a prominent drag culture at all!
