‘We’re Here’ Drag Queens on Why ‘Frightening’ Safety Concerns Didn’t Stop Them From Filming in Small Towns: ‘It’s Important to Uplift People’


The stars of drag queen reality show "We're Here" talk about not letting safety concerns from stopping them from filming in Tennessee and Oklahoma.

Season 4 of “We’re Here” sees new hosts Priyanka, Sasha Velour, Latrice Royale and Jaida Essence Hall travelling to red states Tennessee and Oklahoma, where safety had become a concern at times because of anti-LGBTQ protests and threats. In one of the season’s most powerful storylines, Sasha helps Jess, a trans woman in Oklahoma, come out about her gender identity during their drag show in a local church. As drag bans and anti-trans legislation have become a political rallying cry for certain segments of the right, Warren said he hopes Season 4 inspires the LGBTQ community and its allies into action.
