. The drag queen/actor/TV host/spiritual mother to millions shared his thoughts on the current state of drag and the grandest illusion of all—life.has seeped into the everyday lives of anyone with an internet connection, especially the language used by some of the contestants on the show, which has its roots in ball culture, and is repackaged for mainstream folks peeping in on a lifestyle they don’t fully understand.
“A superficial aspect of drag is mainstream. Like, the ‘Ooh, girl’ or ‘Hey girlfriend!’ or ‘Yaaas.’ That’s mainstream culture. But true drag really will never be mainstream. Because true drag has to do with seeing that this world is an illusion and that everything that you say you are and everything it says that you are on your driver’s license, it’s all an illusion. Most people will never in their lives understand what that is.
Ru isn’t interested in becoming the next peace ambassador for the culture: “I don’t do this because I want to be a role model. If somebody can get something from what I’m doing, I say right on, sister. But that’s not why I do it.”
