Eureka (They/Them) first made their method into our hearts because of appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race, AJ and the Queen, and Ru Paul’s Drag Race All Stars. Since then, Eureka has taken the popular culture world by storm with their critically-acclaimed collection, We’re Right here, alongside fellow drag performers Bob The Drag Queen and Shangela– who's killing it on Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars.

Whereas Drag Race sees established drag performers compete towards one another, We’re Right here sends Bob, Eureka, and Shangela into small cities throughout America to attach with LGBTQ+ folks (and their straight allies) to placed on one-night-only drag reveals. It’s a transfer that builds tolerance, understanding, and – as usually wanted with at-risk queer youth – confidence to be who they really are. (Season 3 premieres on November 25 on HBO.)

Girl Gaga, “Tooth”

Eureka O’Hara, “WERQ!”

[While “WERQ!” isn’t a Halloween song, there’s an argument to be made that Halloween is a queer holiday – The Advocatemade such an argument in 2019 – so any Halloween playlist without anthems like this is incomplete – Ed.]
