Things began to change when my sister told me that a group of boys from Australia was going to be coming to our town to stay for 10 days and needed host families – one of which was a 17-year-old drag queen who loved RuPaul & Adore Delano. I wasn’t in any drag race groups, I didn’t follow the queens on social media until late in 2016 because I didn’t think I belonged. #ADORE DELANO NEGATIVE NANCY ARTWORK PLUS#I was going through so much, plus being straight, white, having no friends, plus being allergic to alcohol, I felt there was no way I could go to a gay bar! 2015 & 2016 weren’t much better, and still, I was too afraid. Too much was happening that year for me to even consider actually going to a drag show to see any of my faves. Adore & Bianca specifically were a wonderful distraction from the hell that was 2014. I fell in love with Adore in the first two minutes of my first season of RPDR. Though we all have our own different journeys that have led us to the drag fandom, and more specifically for this article to the Adore fandom, I think many of us can agree it’s one of the best things that has happened to us in our lifetimes. It’s no surprise that so many of us have found safety and strength in the art of drag. Whether it’s sexual orientation or identity, chronic illnesses, life circumstances – if we’re not living the “ideal of perfect life” of being married with children with white picket fences surrounding our beautiful homes we’re outsiders. Many of us who live unconventional lives feel lost at times. Today’s guest contributor is written by Rebecca, a huge Adore Delano fan and resides in the USA.
