We're Here

I am an old (71), straight white guy. This show makes me wish I was a drag queen, but I am afraid that that ship sailed for me many years ago. I just can't dance (or walk) anymore. Alas. I don't know what I expected when I started watching "We're Here," but what I got is transformative (in more ways than gender identification). This show is about EMPOWERMENT! It is amazing to see how preforming in drag unleashes the power in people who have been repressed and suppressed by society. When common folk, too often looked down upon by the community for their sexual orientation, can unabashedly display a cross-gender identity and proudly expose the breadth and depth of their inner power, it becomes a joyous event for everyone! The language is raw and uncensored, but otherwise this is entertainment for the whole family. My wife and I feel empowered just watching this show. It also makes us hopeful, watching people overcome the bondage of gender-identity. If "regular people" can publicly eschew their gender issues by performing in drag, then we can each overcome anything! The three gorgeous gay souls who headline the show travel to a different town each episode, spreading the drag gospel to the unenlightened by introducing them to the world of drag. Some people are resistant to these "drag evangelists," but the townspeople who participate in or attend the drag show display a sense of excitement and joyousness similar to religious ecstasy. May the Drag-God bless all of these fabulous queens, and the rest of us too! Amen!
