I do identify as a gay man, so I live my life as that.
When I come into this [drag] personality, I just feel it so much more.

Youre getting a production, Crystal promises of her stage presence.
Im going to do the most.

Slowly but surely, Crystal continues, we became really good friends.
I just had to prove my worth to her!
Continues Crystal: “When you’re in a drag family, that’s what it’s about.
We forget about whos actually inside.
I make it a point to love both myself and Crystal, she explains.
If you cant love your out-of-drag self, how can you love your in-drag self?
RuPaul’s Drag Raceseason 17 airs Fridays at 8 p.m. onMTV.
