    It was this subtle action, quietly walking out, that changed the way POC did drag from that time forward. Ballroom as we know it today exists because of what mother Crystal did in this video, not accepting being made to appear lesser than

    Crystal was a strong courageous person . She finally had enough of the racism in the gay/ drag community. There was a Bias against Black and latino Drag queens, these events were run by white queens. Crystal later started her own Ball for Black and Latin Queens. She also Founded the House of LaBeija in 1977. Crystal was a strong black queen. Her House is a Legendary house, still going strong today. She died in 1982 of Liver Failure.

      PungiFungi LaBeija, Ninja, and Xtravaganza all exist as of 2020. Those are the three that I remember from Paris is Burning. Ball/ drag houses exist all over the world at this point. Pepper LaBeija is featured in Paris is Burning and mentions Crystal for a brief moment.
      I wish their was some form of documentation or pictures of what those early balls looked like. If they were more like the ones here or if they were more like the ones of Paris is Burning. Type ballroom voguing and you can see them on YT.

      - furthermore, Sabrina is the only person Crystal stops yelling for, and listens to her, they did care about one another, lastly Sabrina died in november, about 4 months ago, rest in peace angel

    Had it not been for Aja I would have remained ignorant to this Courageous and Beautiful Queen the irony is not lost in that this describes Aja as well. Not winning after a perfect performance was an insult to them both . The treatment that Crystal received is much like what happened to Aja. Please be sure to watch her new video. She reads D.R. to filth as they did to her.

    I dont care of you are talking about the music industry or the fashion industry or the film industry...when it comes to THE STARTING POINT, for the LGBTQ community, out here in the World, doing things in entertainment and being open about who we are, Crystal Labeija is the starting point. She was the model for gay, black entertainers, and she dared you to have an issue with her sexuality or ballroom (entertainment) status...there is no RuPaul or Sylvester or any number of gay entertainers in music, fashion or movies, without this trans-woman. She was WAY ahead of her time, and a HUGE debt of gratitude is owed to her. Why a film about her life story has not been made, is beyond me.

      K J lmao no she didn't. Here's a 2003 article from the NY times commemorating the death of PEPPER LABEIJA, who is the mother of labeija who died of a heart attack, not Crystal. It's a common misconception but no, crystal died a few years before the movie Paris is burning was even made due to cancer and complications with black market hormones from overseas, which is why in the movie pepper is the mother of the house. Pepper also clarifies that she is the second mother mother of the house, Crystal was the first and founder. mobile.nytimes.com/2003/05/26/arts/pepper-labeija-queen-of-harlem-drag-balls-is-dead-at-53.html?referer=www.google.com/

    Clarification: in case anyone might misinterpret what I said regardless of intent I wanted to elucidate on the basis by which my statement was elaborated upon: the reason the competition and or any other institution or activity is illegitimate rests solely upon the intentions and actual lack of ethical moral righteous standards. Let's take as an example the standard I stated previously and apply it to the government of the United States of America, what would be the application in that? When applying this standard if any person were to commit any of the manifested evil I mentioned in the list or any other manifested forms of evil they would go against the intentions in the creation of the laws that govern this nation as intended by the framers. The main difference in this would be the fact that in the competition shown in this video the organizers had a premeditated outcome that ignored the tenets of fair competition(if we actually applied the standard of beauty ignoring skin color Crystal Labeija would have definitely won: her outfit, hair, makeup, and overall presentation blew everyone else out of the water hunty ✊🏼) and instead relied on a predetermined result that ignored the actual efforts of the competitors particularly those of the marginalized racial profile as was understood in that historical context. If a person representing the government such as a president (regardless of Criminality in taking office which would require immediate response) were to defile an institution such as the government with their actions: the metaphorical sword would solely fall upon the afflictor. In this particular case the government is understood to be founded on principles of righteousness including protection from tyranny. Such a government would not be illegitimate if a president were to commit crimes and be held criminally liable and accountable, it would still be intended to uphold justice, truth, and good (all one and the same). Please don't misinterpret what I say to impose ignorant carnal worldly malignant desires to usurp truth, good, and justice (all one and the same). The truth is more than just an opinion. The truth is a moral, ethical, legitimate fact not only enshrined in law under the constitution but it is made valid by the mere fact that Jesus Christ & God have established it as fact. The truth comes from them. In recognizing Their authority we recognize that truth is beyond our mortal carnal understanding and agree on a common standard of facts that are self evident in order to be able to judge between what is just and unjust without imposing our own whims on anyone else. It is imperative that every person recognize that: El respeto Al derecho ajeno es la paz. -Benito Juarez. The respect to the foreign right (meaning the rights of others) is peace. No one should be trying to impose opinion on anyone else. Allāh Almighty & Jesus Christ Almighty bless America. Allāh Almighty & Jesus Christ Almighty bless us all.💙🕊️👠

    It seems like people in the audience approve or understood why crystal was walking out, that said I believe Harlow won fair, she looks natural, however it seems that the real feud was between Sabrina & crystal because the pageant was fix 🤔at least according to crystal & the people in the backstage seems to give some credibility to Crystal's tantrum,anyway I love the catfight😚😚😚

    Analizando el video, Crystal en realidad no le molestó que quedará tercera Runner up, sino el hecho, de que de inmediato se notó que iban a coronar a Harlow (cuando mueven el trono al centro de ella, sin explicación obvia, se delatan), siendo la menos pulida, la que se veía más básica de todas. Crystal fue la primera en destapar el racismo y la discriminación dentro de los Pageant y demás concursos para el drag de la época.
