      Same here. Watch RuPaul's Drag Race with my girl. He's great because he's an intelligent, creative, emphatic person. Also hilarious. MAGA are just scared of fabulous, and fear comes from lack of knowledge, so RuPaul is right as usual. Read a book!

    I met Rupaul once, back around 1994, after Supermodel but before his VH-1 talk show. It was at a bar in South Beach, I was a young 20 something gay twink with my little entourage without a care in the world. We were a little star struck over Ru, but Ru made a big fuss over our group of young gays and made us feel like he saw us and we were something. He was so incredibly gracious to us, I’ll never forget it. Will always be a huge fan. ☮️❤️🌈

    What strikes me from this interview is that very few guests make it to the point where they get two segments. In two segments we can really learn and appreciate the guest, and it shows their status. So happy that RuPaul has attained the status in our culture for a two segment visit.
