Back in July, Fruitloops Video Club reviewed the the 1995 road comedy, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo.

Synopsis:

"Three drag queens travel cross-country until their car breaks down, leaving them stranded in a small town.

Written by Douglas Carter Beane, who was inspired by an anti-gay propaganda film called The Gay Agenda. Of that film, Beane said, "There's a scene where they show drag queens going through a town, and the narrator is warning the viewers that these people will take over your town, and I thought, Well, that would be fun."
