The contestants of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 are confronting anti-drag hate in the show’s latest episode. Last week, the queens performed in a Wigloose Rusical, a reimagined version of Footloose where a local teacher is attempting to ban drag, as the queens opened up about their fears of new laws. As the queens prepared their makeup for the Wigloose Rusical, they discussed their fears about doing drag given the onset of anti-drag hysteria around the country. The premise of “Wigloose” hit close to home for the queens as legislation has been passed in Tennessee to prevent drag performers from having shows outdoors and in front of children. Other states, including Texas, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Nebraska, have introduced similar legislation. At one point Sasha Colby, a trans drag legend based in Los Angeles, asks Mistress Isabelle Brooks if she feels “on guard” when doing drag in her home state of Texas, where legislators are, similar to Tennessee, attempting to categorize drag performances as “sexually oriented business” and remove them from the public eye. Brooks says, “Most definitely.” Late last month, conservative Twitter targeted a performance by Brooks. During the episode’s confessional, Colby expressed her worry about the future of drag and gender expression, and how proposed laws are preventing queer people from being themselves openly.
