About Kid Drag Queens spark Controversy - Are they too Young for Drag? | Drag Kids (Documentary, 2019)
Stephan, Nemis, Bracken and Jason are very different kids living in very different parts of the world, but they’re united by a deep love of drag. Fiery Stephan, 9 (aka Laddy Gaga) lives with his British ex-pat family in the south of Spain, where his explosive performances can’t be contained by their villa, so he has started performing at tourist restaurants. Shy Jason, 11 (aka Suzanbee Anthony) lives in the US Bible Belt where racism and homophobia are rampant, but his chosen family have formed a protective circle around him that allows his sassy alter-ego to blossom. Precocious Bracken, 11 (House of Gvasalia) lives in Vancouver, where she struggles for acceptance as a ‘hyperqueen’ (a female drag queen), and for opportunities to connect in the 19+ world of Drag Shows. The next day is the Vogue Ball, and for all but Nemis, it will be the Kids’ first chance to battle on the runway. There are surprise victories, devastating losses (with accompanying hissy fit) and one grand prize triumph. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - Intro ▷ 0:01:20 - Stephan aka
