The art of voguing, the elaborate houses (like House of LaBeija and House of Xtravaganza), and the unique slang that has entered the mainstream (words like "shade," "reading," and "realness") originated almost entirely within Black and Latino transgender women and gay men in the 1980s. This ballroom culture was a direct response to exclusion from white gay bars. Today, thanks to shows like Pose and Legendary , this trans-originated culture is synonymous with LGBTQ identity globally.
