Be Here, Be Queer

Be Here, Be Queer is a thirty-minute documentary film by Netflix, released via YouTube on December 29, 2021. The film follows a group of drag queens as they tour across the United Kingdom as part of Netflix's I Like to Watch UK roadshow, which took place in a variety of LGBTQ venues in the summer of 2021. The documentary includes appearances from RuPaul's Drag Race UK stars The Vivienne, Cheryl Hole, Tia Kofi and Tayce and sees them discussing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the UK drag scene and queer venues around the UK, as well as exploring the future of drag and the drive to make it a more inclusive art form.
Synopsis
As the number of queer spaces continues to shrink, queer culture has exploded into the mainstream. Be Here, Be Queer travels around the UK and dives into the world of small-town LGBT+ nightlife as it gets back on its feet post-Covid. It explores why queer venues are still so vital to small communities, and takes an upfront look at the impact - the good, the bad, and the ugly - mainstream exposure has had on queer culture, as told by the drag artists who helped create it. Meet venue owners, UK drag legends, Drag Race UK stars, and the kings and queens who perform every night in the bars and clubs of UK LGBT+ scenes.
Be Here, Be Queer follows the Netflix UK I Like To Watch '21 tour, which stopped at small LGBT+ venues around the UK. The tour saw Drag Race UK stars host movie screenings and drag shows with local talent, all in a bid to kick-start venues hit hard by Covid.<ref name="YouTube" />
