Reality show host and “mother” drag queen RuPaul Charles has mentioned that the door was always open to heterosexual contestants, but across the show’s several seasons and spin-offs, not one showed up that fit the bill. Season 14, however, brings a type of contestant that was never featured in the show’s run: a male, cisgender, heterosexual drag queen. Once again, 14 contestants will compete across several challenges for a chance to take home the $100,000 prize money and be declared America’s Next Drag Queen Superstar. “But even beyond that, to happen in front of the world’s face, it was just so, so emotional and moving.It’s time to get your wigs on and start your engines because VH1 has revealed the cast and release date for the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
And it’s so rare that we get to see those moments happen in front of our faces,” Kerri said. And literally watching somebody in front of you emerge and shed who they are, what their reality is and how they believe, know and are now affirming they want to be treated. “I say this every time, it really almost felt like going into a labor and bringing forth a new identity, a new spirit, a new soul. Kerri said the moment was incredibly powerful. And I just really appreciated watching her grow throughout the season,” she added. “And as we were talking and going through that, through the whole season, specifically with Jasmine, I had a very family-kindred spirit, very big sister, in a way motherly-daughterly relationship with Jasmine. And that’s when I was like, OK, I said when I walked the show, I was like, ‘I feel feminine spirits.’ But you can feel whatever you want, you have to wait on that confirmation of somebody. “And for me, I had talked to Jasmine a little bit before about identity when we were off camera. “But besides being such a tear-jerking, emotional moment, it really was so raw and so real,” Kerri said. And it was a really emotional, uplifting moment in my life.” But what came out of that was, you know, finding myself and the ability to let myself grow. “It was kind of like a pressure cooker and I let the steam boil for a little bit too long, and it kind of just exploded. “I think I was mainly focusing on the people around me and just telling them, basically, like, ‘This is how I’ve felt for a long time.’ I haven’t been very communicative about it because of my life and my upbringing, I just really want to bring it up,” Jasmine said. And I think with Bosco starting off the conversation, kind of gave me the initial push to be like, ‘I’m not the only one going through this.’ So I think it was the perfect spark to start what came out to be my coming out,” she continued.
“And that’s where I started feeling a little bit more comfortable about talking about it.
Jasmine said that as the conversation took place the Queens got a sense of who she really is. See ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 14 Queens Recreate Iconic Looks from Emmy-Nominated Shows (Exclusive Photos)
