The film provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of drag queens, trans women, and gay men of color as they compete in ballroom contests, showcase their talent, and express themselves through fashion and style.

This documentary is itself legendary, for all times. The people. The stories. The dreams. The sheer humanity. The period in time. The timelessness of so much of this. You just can't but feel emotional and connected to them.

Hearing all their dreams of wanting to be a star and leave a mark on the world, and here we are 32 plus years later still watching this documentary. Movies and shows and books have been created about them all. They are remembered every single day. Their influence was ahead of their time. I only hope that some of them are still with us today to be able to see themselves become the stars they always knew they truly were.

Some of them are not with us still, unfortunately, and some met the kind of horrible end we were all afraid of. Venus Xtravaganza was murdered, at 23 years-old. Hearing her talk about her dreams, every time I re-watch this documentary, never fails to make me ugly-cry, and want to tear down the walls with a great, big hammer. How unfair, how ugly, how despicable can humans be? How can we perpetuate hate, towards people that only wish to be themselves, to love and be free? The world out there is ugly, and we still fight the fight. With every wave of acceptance, another wave of hate will follow. We must fight, always.

I don't think snark is effective necessarily all the time. But I would say there are many references to Paris Is Burning, and heavily inspired by. Definitely not a replication. They are two different cinematic experiences, different angles are used, they are completely different. Just set in the same spaces. These people existed and inspired many. Rupaul is certainly more than just a copy paste of Paris Is Burning. That's just ignorant. He probably would have been more openly trans inclusive if he was.

I made a point to watch this when it came up because it's culturally significant. It was so sad. The LGBTQAI+ community is still struggling, and though we owe so much to the foundation these people were continuing to lay, it makes me sad for them that they didn't get to see gay artists in the mainstream, gay marriage, corporate pride parades. Would they hate it? Would they feel vindicated? :(

@karma-jade676 11 ай бұрын

It’s a tough question bc the gay community completely abandoned the trans community in 1976 at the pride parade with trailblazers Sylvia and the late &murdered Marsha P. Johnson. I think they would be proud of themselves, but as you see- the survivors- still have never gotten the credit they deserve. Trans have to give themselves the credit by showing old footage where gays admit it themselves in the 70s. It’s sad.

I think Candy's death was taken from Venus and her look from Octavia but I think her personality and storyline was inspired by the part in the film where the judges are nitpicking the menswear and he's not having it.

Back when the Bodies were REALLY piling UP! A kid from my Neighborhood (I live in the Midwest)moved to South Beach and became a hairdresser. He was actually a Buff, competitive Diver (like Louganis-but, not at that Level.) Real Nice Guy. Then, back in 'early '93, my Dad called me long-distance, to tell me that he Died of AIDS. SAD. You KNOW...Gay Men may be Wild, and Junkies share needles (in part, because they cannot find Clean ones.) What REALLY sparked the AIDS Pandemic, however, was the Hemo-Caribbean Plasma Center in Port au Prince, Haiti. It was open from 1971-72, and they Never-or Rarely, changed out needles and tubing(!) Well, some Haitians had been guest workers in Africa-which has similar problems. About 7000 Poor People got the equivalent three American dollars/day to donate there, every two weeks or so. (You can give Plasma much more frequently than whole blood.) The American Company who ran the place imported thousands of gallons of the stuff back to the US, where it went into the veins of Hemophiliacs and others. Plasma contains clotting factors that keeps them from bleeding. ALL Hemophiliacs are MEN, and a certain percentage of them are Gay. Ask yourself why Haiti had such a Bad Epidemic, when the Dominican Republic-on the same Island, did NOT. NO Country in Central or South America had Anything approaching their Prevalence! There was a Death from Toxoplasmosis of the Brain, in Haiti, back in 1978. Grown adults do NOT get that Disease, unless they're Severely Immunocompromised. And, Decades Later, when Everyone Knew Better, Plasma Centers in Mexico City, China and India ALL sparked major local epidemics of HIV, from the same negligent practices. After you get infected with HIV, you have a Very High level of the virus in your Blood, and other bodily fluids, for about a month. Then, it goes down by a factor of maybe one thousand, and stays low, until eight to ten years later, when you begin to become Ill (but, not TOO sick to have Sex.) the HIV prevalence among high-risk individuals was only about Five Percent...as late as 1978. In 1983, in contrast-it was Sixty Percent(!) The found that out from a retrospective analysis of blood slides from the Hepatitis B vaccine study, which began, back in '78. The HIV test became available in early 1985. And, Yes, there were a few outliers, like the Teen Boy who lived in the Ghetto of St. Louis, and Died of it, back in 1969.

Here today to understand more about the culture O'Shae Sibley comes from. RIP O'shae! I've never heard of you before, but you sound brave and powerful - you should still be here.

I just wanted to say that this film is a compulsory part of my uni drama curriculum and without it I would have never known about these amazing people. Hopefully more schools and unis will teach people about this. x
