Despite challenges faced by queer media like cancellations and corporations backing away from DEI, 2025 was a great year for queer TV.
LGBTQ+ creators are getting more and more creative, and new types of stories are being told in productions like Wayward, Overcompensating, and Boots, and shows like The Traitors, Hacks, and The Last of Us are back with terrific new seasons.
These are the Out's staff's picks for the 14 best TV shows of 2025, ranked.
14. 'Yellowjackets'
Fans still can't get enough of the toxic lesbians and bloody twists of Yellowjackets! The penultimate season aired this year, with the teens getting closer and closer to escaping the wilderness and even more of the adults dying off. The show also got even gayer this season with Shauna's teen storyline and the addition of Hillary Swank as the adult version of Melissa.
Mae Martin created and starred in this twisty limited series for Netflix, set in a small Vermont town in 2003. The inciting incident occurs when Alex Dempsey (Martin) and his wife, Laura (Sarah Gadon), move to Tall Pines, where Laura spent her teen years in a camp for troubled teens run by the charismatic and enigmatic Evelyn Wade (Toni Collette). The show also follows two teen girls, Leila (Alyvia Alyn Lind) and Abbie (Sydney Topliffe), who are sent to the camp. The teens team up with Alex to uncover the town and the academy's dark secrets.
Rachel Sennott's newest show follows a young, codependent friend group as they try to live out their dreams in Los Angeles. Sennott stars as Maia, a talent manager who takes on her longtime influencer friend Tallulah (Odessa A'zion) as a client and tries to hustle her way to the top. Jordan Firstman and True Whitaker also star as their hilarious, high-maintenance friend group, instantly recognizable to any 20- or 30-something.
One of the spiciest lesbian shows of 2025 was this Netflix limited series starring Brittany Snow as Sophie O'Neil, who moves from Massachusetts to Texas with her husband. There, she meets Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the captivating leader of a group of wealthy wives. The show has many of 2025's steamiest sapphic moments and had the whole country wrapped around its perfectly manicured finger.
There's been a heated debate over whether Adults on Hulu is an accurate depiction of Gen Z today, but its popularity suggests young people are definitely embracing it. The show starring Owen Thiele, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, Lucy Freyer, and Malik Elassal centers on a group of 20-somethings living together under one roof in New York City and the shenanigans they get into. Their antics are a bit over the top, but one of the most electrifying storylines in the show is a friends-to-lovers moment that gets left on a cliffhanger at the end of the first season. Thankfully, the series just got renewed for season 2.
This classic-style sitcom starred gay legends Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and Nathan Lee Graham as a group of friends who move into a Palm Springs house together after the fourth member of their friend group died. The show was hilarious, heartfelt, and packed a big, gay punch. Sadly, it was canceled after just one season.
The second season of HBO's The Last of Us adaptation shifted away from the beloved Joel (Pedro Pascal) and toward Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and her new girlfriend Dina (Isabela Merced) as the two of them explore Seattle to find revenge. This show just keeps getting better as it explores life in a post-apocalyptic America.
Who knew hockey could be so hot and heavy? Heated Rivalry — a Canadian gay sports romance from Crave that was released by HBO Max in the U.S. — became the season’s hottest show for its portrayal of a clandestine relationship between closeted professional hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie). Created by Jacob Tierney and based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novels, the show depicts the Canadian and Russian routinely squaring off on the ice before melting in the sheets. In between matches, the players must reckon with the homophobia of the sports world and Putin’s Russia, which provides added heat to the undeniable chemistry of its leads.
Audiences can't resist Alan Cumming as the host of this reality competition where he gathers a group of celebs and public figures in a Scottish castle to trick each other, stab each other in the back, and win fabulous prizes. The most recent season featured some of our favorite contestants, including Chrishell Stause, Bob the Drag Queen, Dylan Efron, and Gabby Windey.
Boots, based on the memoir The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White, had LGBTQ+ audiences at attention this year for its moving (and often funny) portrayal of a closeted teen, Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer), who decides to join the Marines in the early 1990s. In this Netflix series, Heizer is compelling as a young man grappling with his sexuality (and hiding it) as he struggles with the physical and mental rigors of boot camp. But high honors go to the ensemble troop — Jack Cameron Kay, Angus O'Brien, Dominic Goodman, Sachin Bhatt, Kieron Moore, Liam Oh, Johnathan Nieves, Rico Paris, Blake Burt, Brandon Tyler Moore, Cedrick Cooper, Nicholas Logan, and particularly Max Parker, who plays a closeted drill sergeant — for bringing heart to this (unfortunately) timely show about the obstacles of being queer in the military.
Beloved comedian and actor Paul Reubens sadly passed away in 2023, but his legacy lived on this year in the two-part docuseries Pee-wee as Himself. The docuseries, filmed largely over Reubens' final years as he was dealing with the cancer that would take his life. In the documentary, Reubens opens up about his fame, his private life, and his sexuality.
Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, is back with another show, this time about jaded lesbian author Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn), who is left as one of the last people left on Earth when an alien virus creates a giant hivemind from most of the human population. Carol is a classic lesbian (reluctant) hero who wants to be left alone and complain, but instead has to try to save the world.
Benito Skinner created and starred in this hilarious series based on his own life about a closeted college freshman navigating sex, relationships, and Charli Xcx concerts. Costars Wally Baram, Mary Beth Barone, Adam DiMarco, Owen Thiele, and Holmes shine, and the series has some of the best pop culture references on TV. Check out this show if you haven't. It's the future of TV comedies.
The best show on television since it started airing, Hacks reached new heights this season, with Ava and Deborah starting season 4 as enemies, having to work together now that they've accomplished their goal of getting Deborah her own late-night show. Hacks is more incisive, hilarious, and out-of-pocket than ever, and Ava and Deborah's relationship is at its messiest in the latest season.
Sapphic outlaw moviesNew Line Cinema; A24; Samuel Goldwyn Company
There are so many great lesbian movies out there, from heart-wrenching dramas to hilarious raunchy comedies to movies features lesbian dirtbag characters, but our favorite kind of sapphic film are lesbian crime thrillers.
Give us sapphic outlaws, hot lesbian chemistry, and thrilling criminal enterprises, and we will binge watch them all.
We love movies that feature complicated female characters who don’t act the way society has deemed appropriate. Normal crime thrillers can be boring, but throw in women behaving badly — especially if those women are lovers — and we are IN!
Basically, we love the kind of movie where the TLDR is: Be Gay. Do crime.
It used to be hard to find movies in this subgenre, but in the last couple of years we’ve been getting more and more films featuring lesbians committing crimes in the most entertaining way possible. So, here are 11 lesbian movies to scratch that particular sapphic criminal itch.
Love Lies Bleeding
Love Lies Bleeding
A24
Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian play lesbian lovers in a bloody crime movie. 'Nuff said. Ok, we'll say a little more. In Love Lies Bleeding, Stewart plays Lou, a gym owner/criminal, and O'Brian stars as a bodybuilder named Jackie, in this erotic thriller throwback. The movie is hot, steamy, and incredibly violent. Basically, it's everything we love in a film. Plus, KStew as a tank top-wearing buthc lesbian is our new favorite thing.
This mob-revenge movie has all of the crime, vengeance, and hot sex scenes between Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon that we could ever ask for in a lesbian thriller. There is a reason Bound sparked a queer awakening in so many ’90s teens!
The second chapter in Ethan Coen’s planned lesbian crime trilogy, Honey Don’t, stars Margaret Qualley as a private eye investigating a shady church leader (Chris Evans), and her love interest is none other than gay icon Aubrey Plaza.
Based on a popular manga series, Ride or Die follows Rei, who must go on the run with her longtime crush Nanae, after she kills the woman’s abusive husband. The rest of the film is a fugitive road trip move that focuses on the women’s complicated relationship and growing feelings.
This 1995 erotic thriller features Anne Heche as a bank executive-turned-escort who falls in love with the wife (Joan Chen) of a notorious money launderer played by Christopher Walken.
The movie credited with the start of Angelina Jolie and Jenny Shimizu’s relationship, Foxfire features a cast of high school girls who turn the tables on a teacher who made sexual advances.
We love movies about women behaving badly, so a film where Rosamund Pike plays a lesbian grifter who is constantly outsmarting men is right up our alley.
In this heist movie starring Vivica A. Fox and Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah play a butch lesbian bank robber. Need we say more? We didn’t think so.
In Monster, Charlize Theron plays real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos, and Christina Ricci plays her love interest, Selby Wall. It's gritty and bloody and gives you a fuller picture of why Wuornos became violent. If that's not enough to grab your attention, Theron won an Oscar for Best Actress for the role, and it was directed by Patty Jenkins, who went on to helm the two Wonder Woman movies.
Eileen stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway in a dark and twisted film about what happens when the boundaries of friendship become dangerously blurred.
While not textually queer, we’re still counting it because both Thelma and Louise leave behind unfulfilling relationships with men and commit to each other. Then there’s that farewell kiss that Susan Sarandon improvised! Plus, Sarandon said later that she thought her character would be a lesbian if the film had ended differently.
Butterfly Kiss is a twisted ‘90s thriller about an unhinged drifter, played by the talented Amanda Plummer, who travels around northern Britain killing men and women while searching for her former lover. Think Thelma and Louise meets the depravity of Natural Born Killers or Monster.
Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke star as Drea and Eleanor, two high school students who band together to get revenge on their tormentors in this sapphic teenage crime movie set in this movie that is dripping with ‘90s references.
35 bisexual pop anthems we have on constant repeatYouTube.com/Binoy
Bisexuality has always had a soundtrack. From subtle nods hidden in early pop lyrics to today’s unapologetic anthems that blast out of every club speaker, these songs don’t just slap -- they’ve become rallying cries, visibility boosters, and sometimes messy, glitter-covered love letters to the fluidity of attraction.
We’ve pulled together 35 tracks that capture the highs, lows, and pure joy of being bi. Whether you’re belting them at karaoke or screaming them on the dance floor, these are the anthems that keep the bi energy alive and loud.
"Bobby Sox" - Green Day
In "Bobby Sox," Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong intentionally wanted this to be a "queer singalong," and the whole song oscillates between the question of "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" and "Do you want to be my boyfriend?" The song is also a shout-out to Armstrong's own bisexuality.
"Nancy Boy" - Placebo
Placebo frontman Brian Molko identifies as bisexual, and the song "Nancy Boy" explores themes of bisexuality, drugs, sex, and gender identity. The song reclaims "Nancy Boy" as a homophobic insult and satirizes it instead.
"Do Not Disturb" - Halestorm
In "Do Not Disturb," Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale sings to a man about joining her in her hotel room, stating, "And if I were you, I'd bring your girlfriend, too. Two is better than one, three is better than two." The rest of the song depicts what the three of them would do all night with the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the hotel room door.
"Boys And Girls Together" - The Mamas & The Papas
In "Boys And Girls Together" by The Mamas & The Papas, the lyrics "Heads or tails/ Choose one or the other/Be my friend or be my lover/Like two sides of a coin/They are forever joined" depict bisexual love by addressing themes of loneliness and attraction.
"BoysBoysBoys" - Pinoy feat. Madison Rose
In Madison Rose's verse on Binoy's "BoysBoysBoys" track, she sings about how the boys in the club have her "acting like a stud" and also sings how much more fun it is to swing both ways.
"Girls Kissing Girls" - Ahli
Nonbinary artist Ahli dropped this bi/pan electro pop banger we can't get out of our heads. The song is a celebration of gender and sexual freedom.
"Lacy" - Olivia Rodrigo
When Olivia Rodrigo dropped "Lacy" from her sophomore album Guts fans were shook and delighted. Sometimes queer lyrics are subtle, alluding to same-sex romance in metaphor, but Ms. Rodrigo is not holding back about the sweetest torture Lacy is putting her through.
"Sick To My Stomach" - Rebecca Black
Rebecca Black who came out as queer in 2020 dropped this dreamy track on her debut album Let Her Burn about Sapphic heartbreak and we are feeling it, feeling it so hard.
"MONOPOLY" - Ariana Grande, Victoria Monét
You might not think of Ariana Grande as a bisexual icon, but in her song with co-writer Victoria Monét, both women individually sing, "I like women and men," then bop along like nothing happened. Grande never addressed it again, but all the bisexuals know, and we see you Ari!
"No Type" - Rae Sremmurd
Rae Srummond are presumably straight and surely didn't forsee this when they were in the studio, but this anthem is as pansexual as it gets. "I ain't got no type/Bad bitches is the only thing that I like." Truer words have never been spoken.
"Sweater Weather" - The Neighborhood
A mid-pandemic TikTok trend gave new (bisexual) energy to this decade old song. A surprising amount of queer women (presumably ex-Tumblr girls) used the track to come out as bisexual on the app, and a new anthem was born. All these years later, it still bangs.
Bisexual Anthem - Domo Wilson
The title says it all! "Better not forget the B in LGBT!" PERIOD!
"Boyfriend" - Dove Cameron
Dove Cameron's "Boyfriend" was an original smash hit, but as the singer told The Hollywood Reporter she had plenty of doubt and fear when she dropped the deeply personal song. “To me and to the people closest to me, my sexuality is not a revelation. I’ve even spoken about it in the public eye many times, but there’s a difference between that and then writing a song as explicit in the expression of your sexuality as this song,” she said “I definitely was very like, ‘This is going to crash and burn in 100 ways.’” Thankfully she was wrong, and the song become a beloved bisexual banger.
"Strangers" - Halsey & Lauren Jaurequi
When two bisexual artists, like Halsey and Lauren Jaurequi collab, brace for fierceness. Speaking with radio host Zach Sang, Halsey (who uses she/they pronouns) said in 2017 "I just love that Lauren and I are two women who have a mainstream pop presence doing a love song for the LGBTQ community. It's unheard of. It's very rare to see it from a female perspective."
"Curious" - Hayley Kiyoko
Out artist Hyley Kiyoko broke down the meaning of Curious in an interview with GQ: "[It's about] that feeling of learning self-respect and knowing when to walk away from a game and being like, "Okay, I'm just curious: Is this serious?" Everyone has been in that situation where someone's playing games, and it's like, "Where are your feelings at?" In the dating game, the world is difficult, because people don't communicate, or they communicate but then their actions speak louder than words.
"Girls & Boys" - Blur
An instant bisexual anthem, "Girls & Boys," according to The Life of Blur by Martin Power, was actually inspired by nightclubs in Essex and the rampant sexuality on display there. "All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then ... copulating. There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen."
"CRZY" - Kehlani
Kehlani, really snapped when she gave us this ode to brushing off the haters and doing our own thing. She also gave us the iconic line, "If I gotta be a bitch, I'ma be a bad one." A life mantra!
'Girls/Girls/Boys' - Panic! At The Disco
Love is not a choice! Brendon Urie came out as pansexual in 2018 but the Panic! At The Disco frontman hasn't ever exactly shied away from talking about sexuality. The D'Angelo-inspired music video for 'Girls/Girls/Boys' tells the story of a girl trying to hide her girlfriend and states plainly, "Girls love girls and boys."
"I believe that you can’t control who you are. It’s something that I’ve experienced myself, that girls do love girls and boys," he said of the song in 2013. "A lot of times people want to label something just to make themselves feel comfortable. They wanna call this person gay or this person straight. I have had a similar experience with homosexuality, with bisexuality... It’s important to know who you are, to be able to be proud of that, and have the courage behind your convictions."
"Make Me Feel" - Janelle Monáe
Don't make Janelle Monáe spell it out for you. The notoriously private musician came out as a "free ass motherfucker" earlier this year and refuses to be limited to a label. Sexuality is simply how a person makes you feel, regardless of gender. 'Make Me Feel' makes that plain, complete with alluring bisexual lighting and a dance break where Monáe flits between dancing with a man and woman.
"Rebel Rebel" - David Bowie
"You've got your mother in a whirl/She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl." Bowie sings of his own fluid gender and sexuality and finds power in being whoever he wants to be.
"Bitches" - Tove Lo
Females do it better! When a married couple seeks oral sex lessons in the music video, Tove Lo demonstrates so well that the student leaves her husband and stays with the women.
"Preach" - Keiynan Lonsdale
The song is clearly about falling madly in love with someone, but with lyrics like, "You show me colors I would never have seen/You're changing what I believe but, this is so true," we can't help but wonder if this is about the first boy the sexually fluid singer-songwriter fell for.
"Bad At Love" - Halsey
Halsey flips through all the guys and girls she's dated in an attempt to understand why she hasn't yet found love. Queen of bisexual relatability!
"Cool for the Summer" - Demi Lovato
She's got a taste for the cherry and she wants to take a bite. Lovato is more than a little curious about the feminine mystique.
"Be Yourself" - Taylor Bennett
"I'm an outstanding Afro-American bisexual havin' shit." Chance the Rapper's younger brother, Taylor, just asks you plainly to be whoever the hell you want to be.
"Take Me On the Floor" - The Veronicas
Nothing wrong with a one night stand, and The Veronicas don't care about the gender of their temporary lover.
"Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
Freddie Mercury, the bisexual frontman of Queen, simply wants to have a good time. Don't stop the man!
"Poker Face" - Lady Gaga
Gaga puts on her poker face when she’s having sex with a man but secretly wishes she was having sex with a woman. Did anyone else have no idea that that's what this song was about?
"Girls" - Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX, Cardi B
This controversial track was originally called out for gay-baiting and fetishizing queer women. It received so much backlash that it even prompted Riat Ora and Cardi B to open up about their real-life experiences with women. But the chorus of the song still rings true, sometimes you do just want to kiss girls.
"Everyone Is Gay" - A Great Big World
A Great Big World might be known for their melancholy ballad with Christina Aguilera, but this uplifting track is a fist-pumping celebration of the wide spectrum of sexualities. "We're all somewhere in the middle/We're all just looking for love."
"The Greatest: - Sia
Dedicated to the LGBT community in the wake of the Pulse shooting, Sia begs us to not give up and follow our dreams. Also, bisexuals are the greatest!
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
"You're so buff and so strong." Ocean's open affection for a man in this breezy homage to the 1994 film makes me want to find love asap, or at least join a track team.
"She's Not Him" - Miley Cyrus
Bisexual people can have love triangles too! While Cyrus loves the girl she's with, she still hasn't gotten over her ex, who's a man.
"Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls" - Book of Love
"When I'm without pretty boys/I dream about pretty girls."
"If U Seek Amy" - Britney Spears
Britney Jean brushes off the haters in this fake-out track. You might love her. You might hate her. But all of the boys and all of the girls begging to F-U-C-K. Forever a bisexual mood!
U.S. President Donald Trump stands in the presidential box as he tours the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, on March 17, 2025.

Just days after he orderd a federal takeover of the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department, President Donald Trump stood on the Kennedy Center’s red carpet Wednesday morning to announce that he will personally host the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors on CBS in December, breaking with decades of tradition in which presidents have attended the gala in the audience but not taken the stage as emcee.
Speaking from the blue presidential lectern, with pictures of the honorees hidden beneath red cloths that were pulled away as he announced each name, the former TV personality said he initially turned down the request to host. “I’m the president of the United States. Are you fools asking me to do that? ‘Sir, you’ll get much higher ratings.’ I said, I don’t care. I’m president of the United States. I won’t do it. They said, please,” Trump recounted.
He added that a plea from White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles convinced him: “Okay, Susie, I’ll do it. That’s the power she’s got.”
He told the audience, “I didn’t want to do it. They’re going to say he insisted. I did not insist, but I think it will be quite successful.” He then reminded attendees of his television experience: “It’s been a long time. I used to host The Apprentice finales, and we did rather well with that, so I think we’re going to do very well.” Trump hosted the NBC reality competition show from 2004 until 2015.
Trump said that “he chose 98 percent” of the nominees, and that he rejected several “woke” options.
Trump unveiled this year’s recipients: country music singer George Strait, theatre legend Michael Crawford, actor Sylvester Stallone, Grammy-winning singer Gloria Gaynor, and rock band KISS.
“They call him the King of country,” Trump said of Strait. “Good looking guy. I hope he still looks that way.” Introducing Crawford, best known for originating The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, Trump said, “Nobody did it like him.”
When it came to Stallone, whom Trump described as “my friend,” the president went on at length, telling a detailed story about how the actor refused to sell his Rocky script unless he could play the lead role himself. Trump recounted how Stallone rejected a string of actors brought in to audition because they lacked a boxer’s physique, holding out until the studio allowed him to take the part.
Trump called Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” an “unbelievable song” that “gets better every time you hear it,” noting her Grammy wins in 1980 and 2020. And of KISS, he said, “It’s an honor to present KISS,” teasing that the band “is going to do something very special” ahead of the CBS broadcast.
At the top of his remarks, Trump quipped, “Next year, we’ll honor Trump.” Later, he shifted to a broader vision for the Kennedy Center, promising that with “a little work” the building would be “magnificent” and praising its “good bones.” He cited new seating, restored marble columns, and private fundraising that he said closed a $26 million budget shortfall. He also credited Republican lawmakers for securing $257 million in federal funding for renovations.
Since appointing himself chairman of the Kennedy Center board earlier this year, Trump said, “we ended the woke political programming” and are “restoring the Kennedy Center as the premier venue for performing arts anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world.” Awards shows like the Academy Awards, he said, “went down the tubes” when they became political, but if the Kennedy Center made it “our kind of political,” meaning his MAGA agenda, “we’ll go up.”
That framing comes after months of drastic changes to the Kennedy Center’s leadership and programming. In February, Trump removed several board members and installed gay former ambassador Richard Grenell in a newly created executive director role. Within weeks, the Capital Pride Alliance moved multiple WorldPride events out of the venue, including a Drag Story Hour, AIDS Memorial Quilt panels, and the WorldPride Reading Room, citing what they described as an increasingly “inhospitable” environment for drag and queer-inclusive programming.
In the same period, the Kennedy Center also canceled the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington’s planned performance of A Peacock Among Pigeons with the National Symphony Orchestra.
Trump’s Wednesday announcement had the feel of both an awards reveal and a political rally. Seated in the front row to Trump’s left were South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, whom Trump congratulated on his poll numbers in his reelection campaign, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Founded in 1978, the Kennedy Center Honors have long been considered one of the most prestigious recognitions in the performing arts, celebrating lifetime contributions to American culture.
Editor's note: This story contains spoilers for the grand finale of King of Drag season 1, now streaming on Revry.
With Murray Hill as the host, a legendary panel of judges, and all 10 competitors from King of Drag season 1 reuniting one last time, Revry delivered an electrifying and emotional grand finale and crowned a winner between top 3 finalists Dick Von Dyke, Henlo Bullfrog, and King Molasses.
Recurring judges Tenderoni and Gottmik — alongside guest judge Cole Escola and an exciting addition of Lisa Rinna into the episode — the seven eliminated kings of the season returned to watch this endgame play out. The audience, consisting of Alexander the Great, Big D, Buck Wylde, Charles Galin King, King Perka Sexxx, Pressure K, and Tuna Melt, made things even more thrilling for fans of the show.
During this final challenge, Henlo Bullfrog delivered an on-brand narrative performance, Dick Von Dyke gave the judges a good laugh with his comedy set, and King Molasses brought out the tricks and the stunts for a performance that had the fans gagging.
All three finalists were surprising in their own way. Nonetheless, a top 2 had to be chosen, and Henlo was announced as this season's third-place competitor.
Henlo Bullfrog on the King of Drag finale.
Revry
"It is never too late to become who you want to be and go beyond your wildest dreams," Henlo said, straight to the camera, before exiting the stage. "I know I have." Cue the tears. How can you not get emotional hearing that?
Henlo continued, "Also, dad, I brought your art and music to the world. Everybody's gotten to hear your voice. Everything I am, it's because of you. And I know I've made you proud, so thank you for everything."
We stan Henlo!
Dick Von Dyke and King Molasses moved forward in the competition, and Murray Hill announced that they'd compete in a lip sync battle to the official theme song of the series.
Dick Von Dyke and King Molasses before lip syncing for the crown at the grand finale of King of Drag season 1.
Revry
The lip sync is absolutely phenomenal. Both kings showcase their styles of drag and performance, and it's honestly just a lot of fun to watch both Dick Von Dyke and King Molasses doing their best while also both feeling confident and worthy of taking home the crown.
When the lip sync ends, the judges and the other competitors are on their feet. (And so are we, but from home!)
It's announced that the time has come for them to crown the first-ever King of Drag, and it feels fitting for Tenderoni to walk into the stage and hand it over to Murray Hill for Mr. Showbiz to declare the season 1 champion.
And the first winner of King of Drag is…
Congratulations to King Molasses!
Murray Hill crowns King Molasses at the grand finale of King of Drag season 1.
Revry
King Molasses has been officially crowned the first-ever King of Drag of this new and promising series that we hope will go on for many, many seasons to come.
Congratulations to the phenomenal King Molasses… And long live the kings!
