Just found about the story of the mummy in her closet. Sucks that we will never know what really happened.

to think dorian Corey was mummified inside of a trunk only feet away from her when this was filmed

It's crazy they used footage of Venus when Dorian says that fem girls were safe. She passed while this was being filmed.

Wisdom incarnate. We all have bodies in our closet honey….She fought back and lived!!!!

Love Dorian… doing her makeup the whole time…”Hooray for you”

Bless her always

So wise so intelligent, just sadness in her voice 😩

Dorian had style and lots of grace And a dead body in a suitcase

I feel such an awakening and attentiveness internally when as soon as I hear her voice and the entire time i hear her speaking. I've never been acquainted to any drag queens or any part of that scene but I've felt this same internal feeling even i discovered this amazing part of herstory and it's unexplainable but i have an intense live for each and every one of these beautiful souls

I wonder what Dorian would think of the drag scene today.

THESE GIRLS are the EPITOME of #LGBTQ “LegendaryGayBlackTransQueens” And U DONT see them sporting the #NewYounGenerGAYtion’s #ENTITLEMENTALITY that “I wanna be identified as or called”

Was Dorian originally lottie labeija featured with Crystal at the end of the queen?

At 5:47-6:52, Dorian You "ARE" A Big Star, And You "DID" Leave A Mark, And A Legacy In The World 🌎 They Hold The Annual Dorian Corey Ball Every Year At Big Venues, You Succeed In Life, And Posthumously, Amen 🌼🍀🌹🦋🌻🌺🌾🌸🪻

I could see the green box 😳 i thought it was fake

She Was A Classy, Elegant, Intelligent, Sophisticated Diva, And House Mother In The Pride Community, I Don't Fault Her For Anything Because We're All Human, May Her Soul Rest In Heaven, Amen 🌳🌼🥀🦋🌺

That's a dude. Makes this video very funny

The sad part is , talented people like Dorian never got appreciated, but today fools like Dylan Mulvaney acting like school girls get million dollar deals and awards, if Dorian was alive today she would be giving so much insight and wisdom.

She was a classy, intelligent, wise, shady queen. I love her

Dorian was the type of history that a butcher sooothsayer stunts for blunts cant shad

Dorian Corey 1937- 93

“They throwing shade at him. i can’t believe this.” 😆

6:44 they say some homosexuals have tiny wrists and feminine hands do to a lack of androgen exposure in utero. I believe it. It’s an innate femininity of the spirit which translates into physical body also. Lack of testosterone in utero. Love Dorian! ❤

Last night my Uber driver was telling me stories about being in a band in the 70s, and his band used to get booked with drag queens in NYC a lot, even though all the band members were straight. He was reminiscing about one particular drag queen he got to know pretty well. Long story short, it turned out he was talking about the one and only Dorian Corey 😲 He was shocked that I knew who she was, I don't think he has any clue how famous she is, and that he's connected to a piece of queer history. It was so cool to hear more about her from someone who actually knew her ❤

People Say She Was Well-Respected In The Lgbtqui+ Community, May Her Soul Rest In Heaven, Amen 🦋🌼🌺🌸🥀🌳

I think that’s the most memorable quote “if you shoot an arrow and it goes real far good for you”

The sweet, sad irony to this is that Dorian left a HUGE mark on the world. She is the heroine of legend, a beacon of light and hope for all trans women, and queer people in general. If only she could know the impact she's made. RIP ❤

The LGBT+ community has stepped so very far away from these ideals... Its really sad to see the state of things today. That's what makes this video so powerful and viscerally thought provoking. RIP Ms Corey. The legend lives always.

Nobody smelled anything weird in her place 😒

"your fa... Saggy face" 🤣 5:24

This entire "Paris is Burning" way of life is so NEGATIVE. All of the principals portrayed are now dead--or may as well be because they used no practical path to move forward with their lives. I came along in the mid-70's and saw all of the drag queens in Boston and New York and knew that was not a path I wanted to follow. Still, I recall being 18, at a Boston pub in the 70's, and having "Jane" (a 40-ish drag queen) come sit on my lap and tell me stories. She sounded a bit like Dorian. A very good story-teller. Clarified many bits I had heard about Stonewall and the social conditions between "gays". She moved me to get out there and take in the remnants of the "gay" existence before Stonewall. I could still directly experience the locations and conditions I had read about in books and novels regaling cruising and night-life. I visited the Christopher Street Bath-house, the pubs of New York, the piers and warehouse district near Greenwich Village, with its heavy cruising (and a good chance to get knifed and robbed). Am glad I did it. Many of the authors of "gay" books and stories were still alive and still out there cruising an "being gay", in the same settings they wrote about. All of which are NOW long gone. After seeing and tasting a little of life before "gay rights", when "gays" had everything to lose, the era of the "gay houses" and "balls" loses significance.

Dorian is a murder. She shouldn't be praised. Even on her deathbed she didn't tell anyone about the body in the closet. She took it to her grave. Sad.

*Mr. Murderer* 💀

Please send him to TH-cam to watch "young man died twice & tell what he saw in the afterlife" his name is Joshua Deshun

R.I.P Dorian Corey ❤️

I've always found her demeanor so regal and refined; a true Lady in her manner. The way she speaks as she applies her face is so classic, effortless.

Who was that dead body in the closet? How does anyone live in a house with a dead body in it? Thats a whole other level.

Dorian Corey 1937 - 1993

Dorian definitely left her mark on the world...over 30 yrs later and videos of her are all over a global platform. Hooray for you Dorian! ❤️👏🏾 R.I.Peace & Love ❤️

Dorian was very wise

#deadspace #bodyofwork #trunkspace #hiddenfigures

Irony because Dorian was immortalized and deified by this documentary. Just as she'd given up on such grand fame.

People Matter so much more when they’re dead than when their alive. When alive, they don’t get all the titles until they die. Then it’s an “icon” or “legend” even though they did all those things when they were alive and not one appreciated it until they died. Your importance is only spoken of once you die and the ones who need to hear it most never get to hear it because they’re gone

I really loved his quote, I found it inspirational. Then, I found he was also a murderer.

Love her 😿 she’s us

“You left a mark on the world if you just get through it.” No truer words.💥
