Your Pride Month entertainment choices have expanded once again! Tonight, we celebrate the premiere of two new documentaries.
Over on HBO, it’s Wig, which focuses on the art of drag and more specifically, the grandiose gathering that was Wigstock.
Meanwhile, over on your local PBS affiliate, The Lavender Scare uncovers the shocking efforts of the U.S. government to eradicate LGBTQ workers from its ranks.
Both documentaries shed light on essential parts of LGBTQ history and ensure that the stories of those who fought for equality, justice (and great hair) before us will never be forgotten.
