Trigger Warning: While some of To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar's jokes and portrayals now read as dated or rooted in stereotypes, the film was widely seen on release as a groundbreaking, mainstream depiction of drag and queer visibility that brought those characters and conversations to a broad audience. This film includes themes and depictions of discrimination, bullying, and homophobia; portrayals of smoking and alcohol use; and moments of emotional intensity that may be upsetting to some viewers. Please feel free to step out or speak with library staff during moments of emotional intensity or if you need support.
