Participants at the 1979 Faerie gathering helped establish the [[Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]] in San Francisco that same year.<ref>[http://thesisters.org/index.php/sistory A Sistory: Blow by blow] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120129111356/http://www.thesisters.org/index.php/sistory |date=2012-01-29 }}</ref><ref>[http://itwascuriosity.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/history-of-the-faeries-including-murray-edelman-joey-cain-and-agnes-de-garron1.pdf History of the Faeries], with Murray Edelman, Joey Cain, and Agnes de Garron; [http://itwascuriosity.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/transcription-of-history-of-the-faeries/ transcribed from the 2nd Annual Philly Faerie Gatherette, 15 January 2012]</ref>

In the late 1990s Faeries sustained the [[New York City Drag March]], an activist event held the Friday before the corporate-sponsored [[NYC Pride March]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Hundreds of Drag Queens Fill the NYC Streets Every Year for this Drag March | website=HuffPost | date=2018-06-25 | url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nyc-drag-march_n_5b2fb345e4b0040e274410a0 | access-date=2019-04-10}}</ref> The Drag March began in 1994 in response to attempts to ban leather and drag during festivities marking the 25th anniversary of the [[Stonewall riots]].<ref>{{cite web | last=Maurer | first=Daniel | title=This Year's 'Magical, Strengthening' Drag March | website=Bedford + Bowery | date=2018-06-25 | url=https://bedfordandbowery.com/2018/06/watch-video-of-this-years-magical-strengthening-drag-march/ | access-date=2019-05-18}}</ref>

The ''[[Queer as Folk (North American TV series)|Queer as Folk]]'' episode "[[Queer as Folk (season 4)|Stand Up for Ourselves]]" features a storyline where the characters [[Emmett Honeycutt|Emmett]] and [[Michael Novotny|Michael]] attend a rural gathering to discover their "inner Faerie."

Faeries were a contributing influence to the 2006 [[John Cameron Mitchell]] film ''[[Shortbus]]'',<ref name=filmmag>{{Citation |url=https://filmmakermagazine.com/archives/issues/fall2006/features/erotic_cabaret.php |title=Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret |first=Sandi |last=Dubowski |date=Fall 2006 |journal=[[Independent Feature Project#Filmmaker magazine|Filmmaker Magazine]] |access-date=2023-11-05}}</ref> including the casting of [[performance artist]] [[Justin Vivian Bond]].
