I know you’ve done a lot of speaking about voting and progressive politics recently.
And that’s something we’re seeing more queens do now.
So where’s the intersection or space for all of this to start affecting political change, for you?
Where does that work begin with drag and how does drag influence the political climate?
This year we’ve seen just a shift overall in how political about the discussions inDrag Raceare getting.
I think that’s fantastic.
There’s such a growth of discussion of racism in queer spaces because ofDrag Racethis season.
Drag has always inspired people to come together to be joyous and fight for what matters.
Are drag and politics inherently tied together, do you think?
Who fromDrag Racedo you think would make an ideal politician?
I thinkBianca Del Rio should be in politics.
I’d love to see her try.
I’d love to!
This is not an official statement of any kind.
I am just free-styling here, but who knows!
