"Bisexual Buddha" with Sherry Cola | Holding Space with Tracy E. Gilchrist

RuPaul's Drag Race alum Plasma joins Holding Space With Tracy at The Stonewall Inn for a conversation about her drag origin story, loving musical theater, and honoring women like Marilyn Monroe and Barbra Streisand through the art of drag. Plasma gets into her coming out as a gay young person to open-minded parents in Northeast Texas, where kids rode horses to school and there was a goat farm across the street. #plasma #rupaulsdragrace #LGBTQ #podcast #interview

As part of the Holding Space with Tracy Stonewall Sessions, recorded at the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ rights movement, drag artist and activist Marti Cummings joins Tracy in a conversation that ranges from Cats: The Jellicle Ball to divas like Liza Minnelli, Madeline Kahn, and Sally Field (impersonations ensue). Raised in Maryland, Marti shares what pop culture touchstones informed their work. The conversation includes anecdotes about being recognized in New York City and Marti's audition for Titanique and hosting their show Stage Fright! Of course, queer rights and the state of the world come up, and Marti approaches it all with hope. #drag #LGBTQ

Co-owner of the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement and cofounder of the Stonewall Gives Back Initiative, Stacy Lentz has been fighting for queer rights for decades.

This is a thoughtful discussion recorded at the Stonewall Inn that connects LGBTQ+ history with the present and future that is not to be missed. #stonewallinn #lgbtqia #queer #lgbtqhistory
