As part of VH1’s #LGBTQHerstoryMonth project, five winners from the RuPaul’s Drag Race winner’s circle — season one’s BeBe Zahara Benet, All Stars 4 winner Monét X Change, season 11’s winner Yvie Oddly, season 12’s Jaida Essence Hall, and season 13’s Symone — all got together for a stunning photoshoot and to have important discussions on why it’s vital that the queer community honors the heroes who paved the way for where are now. The very first RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Bebe, said, “It’s very important for young queer people to get to learn their history, because we can’t lose our culture. That’s what’s going to help you move forward, and the generations after you. The fight is still there; we’re not done. We still have a lot of work to do, and we can’t do that work without knowing what the past was.”
