The Trevor Project X RuPauls Drag Race

In June 2022, RuPaul’s Drag Race announced that they were teaming up with The Trevor Project in response to the rise in anti-LGBTQ legislation.

The Queens discussed how proud they are to be apart of the LGBTQ community with VH1. Kerri Colby told viewers: “I’m proud to be a trans woman, a black trans woman at that, and I want you to know that it’s okay to be you and serve a whole lot of face, a lot of grace, a lot of body and we deserve to be in this place.”

Gigi Goode also spoke upon the matter, saying: “We are made up of such strong, resilient people and it’s something that is an experience that only we know.”

Kerri also quoted RuPaul’s famous quote – “If you can’t love yourself how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?”
