Before ‘Drag Race,’ Rupaul was huge on MTV

Rupaul was the first non conforming figure I ever saw and the spark of thinking beyond boys and girls. RuPaul was the first neural connection in rewiring binary thinking for me. I think I was nine when Work (Supermodel) played on MTV.

Max and I have a new music video to watch after school.
