Drag queens and queer movies are kicking off Pride Month at the popular theater chain Alamo Drafthouse!
Alamo is celebrating Pride by featuring a month’s worth of LGBTQ+ movie programming with ticket prices benefiting Pride365. But even more exciting than the films in the lineup is the drag star-studded PSA that will premiere exclusively before each film.
The beloved theaters are famous for running “Don’t Talk PSAs” before every film to prompt the audience to put away their phones and refrain from talking during the movie, but instead of the cute reminders most theaters use, for Pride Month, Alamo went in a funnier and sassier direction.
This year, all Pride Month movies will start with a “Don’t Talk PSA” starring drag icon Peaches Christ and frequent John Waters leading lady Mink Stole. Instead of sweetly asking viewers to try and be quiet, these two tough broads, who have been performing together for nearly 25 years, hilariously tell audiences to “Shut up and listen to what we have to tell you.”
It will crack you up and make the price of admission well worth it. The PSA ends with the message, “Don’t talk. Don’t text. Don’t be an asshole.” Truly, words to live by.
Check out PRIDE's exclusive premiere of the new “Don’t Talk PSA" below!
This funny and campy PSA will run before every film during Pride Month, and Alamo has an impressive lineup of queer films and campy queer faves that you won’t want to miss.

By purchasing a ticket to one of these films, not only are you getting to see a piece of queer movie history and watch Peaches Christ and Mink Stole reprimand you in comical fashion, but you’ll be supporting a good cause.
This year’s ticket donation campaign benefits Pride365, which works to increase visibility and support LGBTQ+ businesses and community organizations not just during Pride Month, but all year long. Through the end of June, Alamo guests purchasing tickets online for any film (not just Pride programming) will be able to add a $1, $3, or $5 donation to their ticket purchase that will benefit Pride365 where donations directly support WorldPride and the LGBTQ+ movement across the country.
