‘P.S. Burn This Letter Please’
There are a lot of documentaries you need to watch during Pride Month—and P.S. Burn This Letter Please needs to be at the top of your list. This hidden gem—available to stream on Discovery+—is a beautiful ode to queer culture and the drag scene of New York City in the 1950s. You read that right: the 1950s! The doc is narrated via a big stack of letters sent way, way back when. And since the letters were all written by drag queens, they offer a truly rare glimpse at what it was like to be young and gay in a decade when that seemed impossible. P.S. Burn This Letter Please even goes a step further and tracks down the people who wrote the letters and were a part of that scene—and so many of them are still alive! You haven’t lived until you’ve seen queer people in their 80s and 90s spill the tea. Like the letters, this film is a priceless piece of queer history.
