In each of the planned six episodes, the queens will inspire one another and their “drag daughters” to step outside of their comfort zone.

The three queens will serve as consulting producers on the show, alongside co-creators and executive producers Stephen Warren and Johnnie Ingram.

Shangela Laquifa Wadley appeared in seasons two and three of RPDR and was a finalist in season 3 of Drag Race All-Stars in 2018. She has enjoyed success since as a DJ and performer, including a role in Lady Gaga’s Oscar-winning movie, A Star Is Born.

Bob the Drag Queen, also known as performer Caldwell Tidicue, won season eight of RPDR and has produced a podcast, released music and appeared in the role of Belize in a Berkley Rep production of Angels in America.

Eureka O’Hara appeared in season nine of RPDR (but departed due to injury), and then again in season ten, where they finished in the top three. They have also released music since finding fame on the show.

Pro-Equality Eliz Markowitz Forces Runoff In Texas Special Election

Pro-Equality Eliz Markowitz Forces Runoff In Texas Special Election

HRC released the following statement celebrating Eliz Markowitz’s victory in the special election for the Texas State House of Representatives:

“Tonight’s results make it clear the Eliz Markowitz’s message of equality and fairness has resonated with Texas voters,” said HRC Texas State Director Rebecca Marques. “Texans need leaders like Eliz in Austin working to protect us and bring us closer to full equality, especially as lawmakers at the state and federal level continue to pursue anti-equality policies that harm LGBTQ Texans. HRC was proud to endorse Eliz and will continue to help turn out the vote in the weeks to come.”

In 2018, HRC deployed staff on the ground across the state to help elect pro-equality candidates across Texas. Our work led to a resurgence for pro-equality candidates across Texas. Earlier this year, HRC added Texas as a Project One America state, increasing our electoral and programmatic work across the state. In addition to Markowitz,this year  HRC has endorsed Reps. Fletcher and Allred, congressional candidates Gina Ortiz Jones and State Rep. Julie Johnson.

Heading into the 2019 Texas legislative session, there were 23 anti-LGBTQ bills filed. With the leadership of the newly created LGBTQ Caucus, the Texas legislative session concluded with only one anti-LGBTQ bill, SB 1978, being passed into law. SB 1978 was originally filed as a broad, sweeping anti-LGBTQ bill. However, after concerns raised by the LGBTQ Caucus, advocates and other organizations, significant changes were made to the bill.

The LGBTQ caucus was started by five women in the House: State Rep. Mary González, Rep. Celia Israel, Rep. Jessica González, Rep. Julie Johnson and Rep. Erin Zwiener. Several of the members identify as openly LGBTQ. Earlier this year, at the National Conference for State Legislators in Nashville, the Human Rights Campaign honored the members with a reception to celebrate their leadership and legislative success in 2019. Should Markowitz be elected, she would join the caucus as its sixth member.
