Reading is fundamental, so what stories should we be writing?

A comedy-infused panel unpacking the impact of the success of RuPaul’s Drag Race against the queer stories being told. With humor and insight, panelists explore whether Drag Race overshadows deeper, more diverse queer narratives, or if it’s just the beginning.

Hosted by Steph Crothers, with Robbie Eyck (Lazy Susan) and Patrick Lenton.
