"I'm going to say it like I always say it... honey, don't you ever forget that we threw the first brick," Madison says.
“We're really fortunate to have a platform. All of this manufactured fear and hate and craziness with drag bans across the country can really be defeated by showing people what drag is. If they watch the show or go to a drag queen story hour or they go to their local bar or club and see a drag show, they're going to realize it's joyful. That's our power when we educate and we lead with joy," Kressley says.
