RuPaul Isn’t the Only Drag Queen-Slash-Ordained Minister From ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’
Everybody say, ālove!ā Thereās plenty of love on this reality competition series, with some contestants and guests even getting wed by RuPaul. However, plenty of other drag performers who sashayed into RuPaulās Drag Race are ordained and have officiated weddings.Ā
Hereās what we know about these drag performers.Ā
RuPaul wed Joslyn Fox and her fiancƩ during the season 6 finale
For one episode of each Drag Race season, RuPaul typically invites those who are not contestants to enter the Werk Room for a drag makeover. For season 5, that meant United States veterans. For season 10, that meant social media celebrities like Tyler Oakley and Frankie Grande.Ā
For season 6, however, that meant engaged couples, with the husband getting in drag to wed their partner on television. Some blushing brides looked more fabulous than others, but with RuPaul being an ordained minister, the episode was a magical wedding experience for each couple.Ā
Even at the finale, RuPaul had to chance to ordain another wedding. This one was for contestant Joslyn Fox, who was engaged prior to entering the competition. The couple said āI doā in front of the other competitors and the audience.
A few āRuPaulās Drag Raceā queens are ordained ministers
RuPaul is an ordained minister but sheās not the only queen from this series who officiated weddings. RuPaulās Drag Race season 4 and All-Stars 4 contestant Latrice Royale is also an ordained minister. (This isnāt a surprise to some fans, especially those who know her for the āJesus is a biscuitā song.)
According to one Reddit user, former season 8 contestant, āRobbie Turner, just talked about being an ordained minister and doing a lot of gay weddings on The Sewers of Paris podcast.ā Itās unclear, however, if these performers are exclusively doing weddings for people that they already know.
Some drag queens, including Trixie Mattel, performed at fan weddings
While some Ru Girls officiated weddings in the past, others performed at the wedding for the guests. That includes season 6 contestant, Trinity K Bonet, who did a BeyoncƩ performance for one couple.
In 2019, All-Stars winner, Trixie Mattel, sang at a wedding, posting a video to social media as a result. When it comes to the Drag Race competition, some performers adorned wedding gowns for specific categories on the mainstage.
That includes season 2ās āwedding photoshoot,ā the same episode where Tatianna completely called out Tyra for her attitude.Ā
Some of the RuPaulās Drag Race contestants even had their partners came back for the makeover episode, including Manila Luzonās husband and Trinity the Tuckās boyfriend for one episode of All-Stars.
There were even some relationships that transpired between the contestants ā Brooke Lynn Hytes and Miss Vanjieās fling was one of the best-known.
New episodes of RuPaulās Drag Race premiere on a weekly basis on VH1.
