What I've learned from Ru, and what Ru has taught the world.

Until last year, I never really got to interact with RuPaul when it was both of us just being ourselves, without an audience. JosĆ© Alberto GuzmĆ”n ColĆ³n

Thank you SO much for sharing this with all of us. What a beautifully written essay. I'm really glad I got to see The Vaudevillians in New Orleans a few years ago. Please come back!

You'll always be one of my all time RPDR favorites because I could see myself in you. "Water off a ducks'a back, bitches!"

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Anyone actually read this?

Ugh I thought I was alone with the groin anomaly situation!!! I honestly canā€™t tell if itā€™s a mis-scanning or the TSA code for harassing people that donā€™t fit into a mold. Iā€™m a cis-woman, obviously female, but tend to wear dandyish menā€™s clothing (suspenders, top hats, etc...) and menā€™s boxer-briefs, and I canā€™t emember the last time Iā€™ve flown and not gotten the groin anomaly pat down. Why is no one talking about this?!

This issue has some really great writing. Sometimes I get skeptical of why The Stranger still exists, but this proves it...

Jinkx-

Have you ever heard of the concept of ā€œright speechā€ in Buddhism? To me, you embody it here and across all your work.

Thanks for sharing your strength that is also vulnerable.


Please wait...
