Say it with me… RuPaul Charles. I mean, doesn’t the name alone scream ‘ICON’?
I, personally, have a heart full of emotions when I say his name. But for those of you who didn’t just then? Let me tell you why you should.
RuPaul is a gay icon in the truest sense of the term. But I’m going to take it a step further and say that not only is he a gay icon, but simply, an icon.
Ru has broken down walls and barriers, leaped over the kind of hurdles that’d make Jessica Ennis jealous, and has looked every single hater in the eye while climbing to the top of a business he was told he’d have no chance at breaking into.
One of the things I have always admired about Ru is his innate ability to find the love and beauty in everyone. Everyone has a place …show more content…
Ru was Ru when everyone looked at him and called him a freak. Ru was Ru when it wasn’t easy to be Ru, but it was all he could …show more content…
RuPaul has done exactly the opposite of what people think they need to do to ‘make it’ in life. He started out with the odds never in his favour and ended up the Victor/Victoria with nothing but talent, grit and determination.
Ru continues to grow as a person and share his love with the world. He’s the most spiritually evolved person that I know personally and, the best part is, he’s done it all himself. Everything he’s overcome, he gives back in spades. He’s still breaking down walls and bringing the art of drag to the biggest, most accepted platform yet; RuPaul’s Drag Race. There are a tonne of fierce queens in this world, but NO ONE could have brought it to this point but Ru.
An icon is someone who keeps on keepin’ on in the face of adversity and says ‘fuck you’ to the people who tell you that you can’t. Ru did just that many times over and will continue to do so until his last day here on Earth.
So here’s where I say thank you to my bestie Ru for all that he does for the community and for the art of drag, which would still be relegated to the local gay clubs and kept a dark secret if it weren’t for him. You’ve changed my life in ways you will never realise Ru, and baby, YOU represent the true meaning of the world
