It would be irresponsible to not include this iconic 1984 documentary that showcases stories of LGBTQ+ culture prior to the 1969 uprising at NYC’s Stonewall Inn. Watch for free on Hoopla (free with a library card), Kanopy (also free with a library card), and Tubi (free with ads).
Speaking of iconic LGBTQ+ documentaries, this 1968 documentary gave an early inside look at the world of drag long before RuPaul’s Drag Race. Watch it for free with a library card on Hoopla or Kanopy.
What? Haven’t seen RuPaul’s Drag Race?! This pivotal reality show brought actual drag performers into the mainstream. Watch out for Mrs. Kasha Davis in season 7, but also be on the hunt for other superstar drag performers whose careers boomed after appearing on the show.
