Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month!
LGBTQ+ Pride Month is celebrated every year during the month of June to commemorate the Stonewall Riots, which occurred in 1969.
You might be saying, "Why do you keep typing "LGBTQ+? We know what Pride is."
But Disability Pride is celebrated in July every year, so that's why I'm making the distinction.
Ru Paul has been the face of drag for decades.
His show, Ru Paul's Drag Race, began in America 18 seasons ago, and has since become a franchise and worldwide phenomenon.
It is a weekly reality show where drag queens compete to win the title of "America's Favorite Drag Superstar" which includes a cash prize and gifts.
It's a show filled with fun, camp, pain, heart, and fabulousness.
There have also been "Drag Race All Star" seasons, Ru Paul's Drag U, Ru Paul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race, and Ru Paul's Drag Race Global All Starts.
At least fifteen other countries have had their own Drag Race competitions.
Ru Paul's Drag Race has won 27 Emmy Awards, and 6 MTV Movie & TV Awards, among other awards.
Contestants from the show have used their exposure to carve out success in the entertainment industry, including touring; creating music, art, and fashion; appearing on Broadway; writing books; and staring in other television shows.
Ru Paul's Drag Race will make you laugh, tear up, and show you how to "throw shade," "spill tea", and "be sickening."
Check out Ru Paul's Drag Race on Paramount+.
