It was -- and still is -- a raw time for the LGBT community, to say the least. Under Obama, we more or less enjoyed being able to assume that the government wouldn’t try to roll back any of our civil rights, but all that has changed now. It makes total sense that, in this scary time of uncertainty, having a powerful politician say that she will continue fighting for us and that we matter might be overwhelming. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SS: \u003c/b>She also packed in some important, heartfelt messages about knowing your power and the importance of voting. I do wonder how many of those queens are registered to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, time for a political History Lesson! When Pelosi ran for Congress the very first time back in 1987 (back when \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> still called us “\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">homosexuals”\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), there were, like, 12 people who ran against her, and they tried to paint her as a party girl (as in the Democratic Party), and a “dilettante” who was rich (well she \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), and too conservative for San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her main opponent was Harry Britt, who was trying to become the first openly gay man elected to Congress\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1987/04/09/us/house-race-in-west-goes-to-runoff.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy won of course\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and Harry Britt sort of faded away. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The irony is that now Nancy Pelosi is like a heroine to the LGBTQ community. She was heroic on HIV/AIDS funding, fought for marriage equality, and pretty much any other queer issue you can think of. S\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">o it does makes sense that those queens seemed genuinely touched by her appearance. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>EH:\u003c/strong> I didn't know that story!

Back in Season 4, the producers made the queens participate in a presidential debate, which led to iconic moments like this one: \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqjUZAz1ieo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you could craft a politically-charged challenge for Nancy’s episode, what would that look like? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>SS:\u003c/strong> Yeah, I was also a little disappointed Pelosi's appearance was so short. Then again, it’s so rare to see politicians talk too little, so good for her. Leave ‘em wanting more!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m thinking one challenge could be to dress like a lobbyist and have to convince Pelosi to vote the way they want her to. I can see the cash stuffed into their bras and offering all kinds of favors in exchange for her vote. Then again, Pelosi would never agree to something like that. She’s got enough problems with the Midwest members of her caucus already!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EH: \u003c/strong>I love that lobbyist idea! If you ever get tired of reporting on politics, you might have a second career over at World of Wonder productions!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm obsessed with the Supreme Court (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/6057/little-known-facts-about-supreme-court-justices-prop8-doma-scalia-ginsburg\">as this piece I wrote can attest\u003c/a>), so I would have loved a Ruth Bader Ginsburg-themed runway. The judge's robe could be a tearaway for a second look obviously. And each queen would have to do 25 pushups at the end of the runway, in honor of RBG's daily fitness routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since you're so good at production ideas, w\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">ho are some other politicians you’d love to see on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drag Race\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>SS:\u003c/strong> Well, in the spirit of world peace, how about Kim Jong-un? He’s very into pop culture I hear (just ask \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAprW14F-8k\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dennis Rodman\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">!). They could share hairstyling tips. But I guess he’s more a dictator than a politician, so maybe not.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m trying to think whether there’s a Republican who would actually do it and could pull it off. Yeah, no. (Back in the day, Rudy Guiliani \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/ritas-thanksgiving/n11048?snl=1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">appeared on SNL\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in drag. Pretty hilarious. Then he went and turned crazy on us.)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think Kamala Harris would definitely give these queens a run for their money. Did you ever hear her on \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pod Save America\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">? She dropped a bunch of F-bombs, which went over pretty well with that crowd. I believe Ms. Kamala knows how to have a good time, and I’m sure she’s been to many a drag show in her day.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>EH:\u003c/strong> My picks are Michelle Obama (duh) and Abraham Lincoln's ghost (come on, he was definitely at least a 4 on the Kinsey scale).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kamala would also be amazing. I had to stop listening to \u003cem>Pod Save America\u003c/em> because hearing about all the awful things going on in politics was bumming me out; reading about all of it is enough for me. But I will definitely hunt down the episode she's on!

It was -- and still is -- a raw time for the LGBT community, to say the least. Under Obama, we more or less enjoyed being able to assume that the government wouldn’t try to roll back any of our civil rights, but all that has changed now. It makes total sense that, in this scary time of uncertainty, having a powerful politician say that she will continue fighting for us and that we matter might be overwhelming. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SS: \u003c/b>She also packed in some important, heartfelt messages about knowing your power and the importance of voting.

When Pelosi ran for Congress the very first time back in 1987 (back when \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> still called us “\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">homosexuals”\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), there were, like, 12 people who ran against her, and they tried to paint her as a party girl (as in the Democratic Party), and a “dilettante” who was rich (well she \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">), and too conservative for San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her main opponent was Harry Britt, who was trying to become the first openly gay man elected to Congress\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1987/04/09/us/house-race-in-west-goes-to-runoff.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nancy won of course\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and Harry Britt sort of faded away. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The irony is that now Nancy Pelosi is like a heroine to the LGBTQ community.

After nearly nine combined years on the air, the shows now wield top ratings, a rabid social media following and an influence over pop culture that drag has arguably never had before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to host RuPaul Charles, the show isn't purposely setting out to change minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our goal is to have fun and celebrate the art of drag,\" he says. \"If other people can get something out of it or get enlightened from it — right on, ladykins.

They hail from Season 1 of \u003cem>RuPaul's Drag Race\u003c/em> all the way through Season 9, which wrapped up last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's always interesting to see what they've learned from their first experience and what they're going to bring to \u003cem>All Stars\u003c/em>,\" RuPaul says. \"These are the girls who continue to be on the tips of everyone's consciousness, on the tips of everyone's tongues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don't think \u003cem>All Stars\u003c/em> is just a laundry list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNxgdIxZtdk\">fan favorites\u003c/a>. There's calculation at work, casting an array of personalities to showcase the varied traditions of the drag world — from comedy queens and pageant girls to club queens and girls who don't fit into any boxes (hold your \u003ca href=\"http://rupaulsdragrace.wikia.com/wiki/Shangela\">Shangela\u003c/a> jokes, please).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The cast is an ensemble. We want to represent as many of those genres as possible,\" RuPaul says. \"As the show's progressed, we've been able to introduce different genres that people may not be familiar with.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An example he gives is what he calls — at least on the radio — \"gender F-word drag.\" It involves mixing and skewing gender expression, often as a social commentary on masculinity and femininity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Garcia-Navarro asks where RuPaul stands on contestants who don't wear heels on his runway, though, he responds immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'll tell you where I stand with it. Flats are for quitters,\" he says, laughing. \"I mean, it's as simple as that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the host does credit Season 4's \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sharonneedlespgh/?hl=en\">Sharon Needles\u003c/a> with opening the floodgates for different styles on \u003cem>Drag Race\u003c/em> — ones he says TV audiences just weren't ready for when the series began in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gender F-word\" drag is also where RuPaul got his start, wearing \"smeared lipstick and a ratty wig and combat boots.\" In a way, the entire show — from its guest judges to its choices of music — is built on a reflection of RuPaul's own rise to fame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All the challenges on our show are based on what I've done in my 35-year career,\" he says. \"From radio to television to designing clothes to producing — I do whatever it takes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4llQ4yRIiJc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Young people \"get it\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With RuPaul at the helm, America is in the midst of a drag renaissance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This season's guest judges span from designer Marc Jacobs to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. (RuPaul says he also tried to get Rep. Maxine Waters, but their schedules didn't line up.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We love Nancy Pelosi,\" RuPaul says. \"I can only imagine the stories she could tell — of strength and survival and of shape-shifting, really. That's something all of our queens, and people who live outside the box, can relate to.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show's influence is also evident at DragCon, essentially the Comic-Con of drag, which pulls in thousands of fans — many of whom are children too young to see their favorite queens perform at bars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RuPaul says it's those young people who \"get it\" — versus members of an older generation who are fixed in their identities and roles in society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, he has a different take on the younger generation's emphasis on identity labels and using them to gain recognition in today's political climate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Humans like to put things in a box so they can assimilate them and go, 'Oh, okay, I got you now,' \" he says. \"You know, tattoos are rarely for the person who has the tattoo. The tattoo is usually for other people to look at you and sort of interpret what you are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can discuss all you want.
