Everything BOB said praising Peppermint is true! Peppermint is a national treasure and we have to keep her safe forever!

I have met Willie Ninja and allow me to share. What a wonderful, humble, sweet and kind soul. He met me when i was down and new to coming out and he kindly picked me up, took me to meet his mom and we spoke all night. He educated, informed and infused love in me. I will never forget him and his kindness.

I’m in tears over Bob’s tribute to Peppermint. What a human!!! Peppermint changes hearts and minds with the most charming humility. Now I’m crying as Pep talks about Bob… I love yall and your leadership

Ru really did something amazing, she was a household name as a DRAG QUEEN! I knew of her and who she was when I was like 7 years old. That’s incredible

It’s nice to see Rupaul has always spoken in riddles and it’s not just the Alzheimer’s

Grateful for this educational series & for our queer elders, for our current queer leaders/role models. Can’t say thank you enough to everyone involved. This is what our community needs!

We paved the 80s and 90s with tears. Damn Reagan to this day. Erg. 😊❤

This is gutting 😢😢 The way that Peppermint can talk so elequently and Bob is so direct and honest ❤

Pepper Labeija is everything. 😊❤

Rupaul was always shockingly beautiful in all lightings

I would love a table talk between Darienne, Sherry, Peppermint, Pandora, and other queens that came out in the 90s. I do not know when Jackie Beat started.

I’ve always loved Pepper LaBeija and Willie Ninja. 💜❤️

BOB! ROBERTA!!! You did it, You reached your 500,000 subscriber goal...it took more than the anticipated few months (according to the video) But you Made it!

Very informative video! It’s so important to understand the history of the art form contextualize its place in society, and how we consume and engage with it.

As someone who was a young adult in the 80s, it cant be stressed enough how damaging AIDS was or how badly it was handled by our govt. Just in my own life I lost 3 men including my dance partner, the 1st guy I dated and the sweet man who cut my hair since I was a child. No one in power seemed to care until famous white people started dying! They dismissed it, called it "gay cancer", and we lost so much of a whole gen. of amazing people 💔

Never realized the connection between crack cocaine, race and HIV.

Thank you so much for this series ❤

This was very insightful. Watched both parts. Thanks for sharing 😌

All the way from South Africa and I always wanted to know the history of Drag. Thank you very much for this.

Thank you for this series

So appreciative of these episodes, thank you ❤

Two episodes is not enough!!!

So excited to watch this.

Peppermint is the picture that comes up when you search ‘woman’ on the interment.

Peppermint I know it. Your choice but I would love to see you on all stars as the winner of that season mama period .

The first Drag Queen I was lucky enough to meet was Vicci Laine at Uncle Elizabeth’s in Bloomington, Indiana.

"Mother has arrived!"

0:29 also damn this is gorge

When I was listening to the aids and war on drugs portion of this video I keep relearning things like this about americas history and start noticing like man my schools really lied to me and not told me how evil America was and still is and how minorities were just trying to get by day to day. It’s just sad.. but Ty for unwhitewashing me

30 year old gay man, FINALLY diving into "the gay me" and am super grateful for this💜💜💜

I think it would make a great series of videos for the drag community to try period pain simulators. It would be very funny and perhaps eye opening for a few drag queens. Shocking entertainment for sure!

I really do miss when nelson would document her life R.I.P nelson 😔

Willy ninja. Dance master. 😊❤

Willie was not a drag queen. Nor did he choreograph Madonna’s Vogue video. This is a bit misleading and kind of disrespectful to get the story so incorrect and to erase Jose and Luis Xtravaganza and Vincent Patterson’s groundbreaking work with Madonna. Edit: They first call him a drag queen at 6:34.

💜✨💜

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Next to Rupaul, that interviewer looks like a little child lol

they stopped recommending your content to me and I don't understand why

Willi ninja was a drag queen?

Um Jose xtravaganza choreographed madonna's vogue not willi ninja. Get your story straight.

Where did they get the notion that willi ninja was a drag queen? Peppermint needs to stop making shit up.
