Description

Because of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ drag has exploded. But what is often lost with all this drag we’re seeing on our televisions are the stories from small-town America, what’s really happening in cities that are sometimes overlooked and where, often, these “drag bans” are popping up. That’s where HBO Max’s ‘We’re Here’ comes in. ‘We’re Here’ shows drag superstars going to small cities to put on a drag show, but along the way stories are told that you rarely here. Stories about the struggles of being LGBT in America today, life in a small town, and how drag can be a force for good. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott spoke with creators  Stephen Warren and Johnnie Ingram and director Peter LoGreco about the impact of ‘We’re Here,’ and two of the new hosts for this new season, Sasha Velour and Latrice Royale from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race.’  Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
