Long before drag was a mainstay of reality television, LGBTQ+ folks turned to drag for fun, to challenge society and explore their gender through an artistic, comedic and performative lens.
Today we remember two queer culture legends, Chicago’s JoJo Baby and San Francisco’s Heklina, who both died this past month and the impact they had on so many people’s lives, including ours.

Remembering San Francisco drag legend Heklina, who died this week in her hotel room in London. She was 55.
Heklina is a living legend- she started her amazing drag show in San Francisco way back in 1996 that ignited the careers of countless entertainers including Lady Gaga, Peaches Christ and Ana Matronic.
Today, Heklina joins us to take a look at the horrific shooting in Orlando and how gay bar owners are responding to the violence.
