RuPaul opens up on decades of fame in new memoir 

A drag queen? A DRAG QUEEN? She IS the Queen of Drag

I’m so proud of you my drag mom ! Thanks to her I have the opportunity to been on tv for two years ! Breaking walls of stigma and discrimination. But also taking my art to another level . Congrats Mama Rupaul

From being a little black girl in the Brewster projects of Detroit Michigan, to getting spotted by an ebony fashion fair talent scout at 15, to building a media empire. What a life!

His love for his partner is AWESOME!!!

I get chocked up when ever I see Ru be vulnerable on TV, ❤❤❤

I DESPERATELY miss RUPAULS PODCAST Please listen to that podcast, its is just filled with so so much great life lessons!!

RuPaul is an American Treasure!

Rupual taught me if i can't have love for myself. How the hell can i love someone else? Thanks from me and Grandma out here in cali

7:10 when he got teary eyed talking about his husband. So sweet ❤❤❤

I think that is fair! RuPaul is everything. I loved her since I was a kid, and am now I am in my 40s, a grown ass cis Black woman. lol

I love his impeccable taste and how well spoken he is. Gotta read this book! ❤❤

I’m so happy Robin is interviewing him. I love them both so much.

Their is nothing like a parent love when your are gay

A light in the world ✨

I’m a gay man. I have never watched Drag Race. It’s just not my kind of TV. The most I’ve ever been exposed to RuPaul’s work is his appearance in The Brady Bunch Movie. However, I am very familiar with how much he has done for the community and what he has accomplished in his career is amazing!

RuPaul is one of the most incredible strongest people who has survived a lot and now he gives so much back the joy the laughter the kindness God bless you RU never leave us ! the world would be sad place without you!!!

Robin and ru look like brother and sisters 🌞

I'm so glad we have him!

I remember in the 90’s when RuPaul Released his first album “Supermodel of the World” buying it at all places an army base because the cover looked cool. Then the music was good. And everyone in the 90s didn’t even know what a drag Queen was. I’ve loved him from the early days of his career. Always fun, always uplifting, always funny, and talented

RuPaul thank you for giving us so much light and inspiration 🥰❤️😃 & We love you Robin 💖 😍😊

*How could anybody not like aunty Ru...?!* 👍🏽

Love him so much !!

I really enjoyed Robin and Rupaul together! Great interview! It did make me want to get the book!

I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and when I was in my early teens, I would drown out the taunts and hateful immaturity of the others on the school bus with "Supermodel" on my Walkman. I was very fortunate that the most awkward period of my life - a period not all kids like me would make it through - occurred simultaneously with RuPaul's ascent to superstardom. It allowed me to envision a future where I would only be celebrated for what made me so different and when I arrived at my class reunion years later, it was in the image I would have loved for them all to have known me as the whole time. They loved it, too. Even more important is the obligation I feel to do what I can to help the next awkward kid get through those years unscathed. It was always my dream to go find "my people" in New York City, but my life has put me on a very different path that ultimately led me to return to the same area in which I grew up. I've spent so many nights wondering what I could have done and where life may have taken me had I taken more risks or made different decisions along the way. Sometimes I find answers or clarity simply trying to make excuses to convince myself that there's a good reason I'm where I am. It brought me to the realization that I could use this larger-than-life persona I've so carefully created as a beacon for any kids that, like I once had, feel they're three thousand miles away from anyone they could relate to. After many appearances in the local media, articles I've written, and events I created and coordinated, I was named one of the area's most influential people "changing the way we look at life" in our city. For all the barriers _Drag Race_ has broken down, the one I'm most grateful for is the opportunity to see RuPaul receive the accolades he's deserved for so long. It took a long time for the rest of the world to catch up, but that man's true impact is so profound we'll likely never comprehend how many lives this one person has touched simply by putting on a pair of high heels and reminding us all how important it is to love ourselves and each other. I hope I see the day when such a simple phrase doesn't carry any stigma with it simply because it came from the mouth of a black man in a blonde wig.

I read that his mother went to a psychic when she was pregnant and she said "its a boy and he will be very famous! He'll be a star!" 😮

Love RuPaul! ❤❤❤

I love RuPaul! For me he’s more than a drag queen. He has ethics, spread love and respect around the world! My kids and my husband watch Drag Race with me. I went through a dar time in my life and his show was there to pick me up and bring some overcoming exemples in my life.❤❤❤❤

Oh the things he must have seen and experienced …💛✨ what a life. Can’t wait to read his book, as a young gay fem guy myself 🥹

"Everybody is drag. You're born naked and the rest is drag."

The guy at the end was so over it 😂😂😂

The king of being unbothered and knownin g their truth

Ru is so beloved, but still doesn't get the credit he deserves. Truly has made the world a better place for everyone, but especially LGBTQ people.
