Unreported World: Drag Queen Culture Wars (Channel 4 Friday 19 May 2023)
Unreported World: Drag Queen Culture Wars airs Friday 19 May 2023 on Channel 4.
A look at the situation in Tennessee, where tensions over whether or not drag queens should be allowed to perform in front of children have led to a ban on such shows. Reporter Minnie Stephenson meets the artists and right-wing evangelicals on opposite sides of the latest frontline in America’s culture war.
Militias, activists and soccer moms across the United States have spoken out against Drag Queen Story Hours, in which cabaret artists read stories to children in libraries and coffee shops.
At this time, legislation to ban drag shows in public spaces where children might be present has been introduced in at least 15 states where the Republicans are in control. Stephenson visits the remaining Story Hours despite death threats, talks to their opponents, and meets drag queens who feel they are the latest target in an anti-LGBTQ+ crackdown.
