The Tony Awards ceremony is discussed, highlighting various moments and winners. Actress Deandre Benton received attention for comparing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan during her presentation of an award. This comment came after DeSantis supporters were reportedly seen waving Nazi flags at Disney World. However, the awards also celebrated several queer victories, including the first openly non-binary trans actors, Alex Newell and Jay Harrison, winning Tony Awards. Michael Arden, who directed the Broadway Revival of "Parade," used his time on stage to reclaim the F-slur and address homophobia. The perspective ends with a personal anecdote about watching a TV show featuring a drag queen character.
