You can't talk about modern-day LGBTQ+ representation without discussing RuPaul's Drag Race.
The drag competition series, which has international spin-offs in countries from Thailand to Australia, is currently in the midst of its seventh All Stars season, the first all-winners season in the franchise's history.
Since the first episode of RuPaul's Drag Race aired in February 2009, the show has been a beacon of queer representation and self-expression, from legendary host RuPaul on down.
New episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 7 stream Fridays on Paramount+.
