Rogue (they/them) is an iconic Sagittarius and is Vancouver’s premier non-binary Jewish drag artist and event producer. Rogue started their drag journey “with a synthetic Amazon blonde wig and a dream” and now they are a host of many a show, travelling around the city and the country spreading their joy and talent with everyone who is lucky enough to witness it AND they founded drag supergroup ENBY 6!
In this episode:
-Rogue’s eyes were opened up to drag in a way I could never have guessed — by insisting they hated RPDR! Listen to find out how that (thankfully and magically panned out)!
-If someone trusts you with the honour of coming out to you, please, please, do not respond with “I knew/I know” etc! Because what did you “know”? Really?
-We love a story where someone is spending all of their spare time doing something, a true sign of it being their passion and their vocation!
-Listeners have your pens ready for this episode! Rogue has a go-to list for diving into queer culture for the first time!
-If you can’t poke fun at yourself, who can you poke fun at?
-Oh to be young, drunk and abroad confessing to your closest pals your sexuality! It’s a recipe for coming out and I love it (because I too, have lived it)!
-Rogue is very honest in sharing their journey of unlearning and then passing it on, which I am very grateful for!
-This conversation is just a reminder (at least for me) of how important it is to be in queer spaces as much as we can!
-Allison is kickass! We love you! Canada’s Drag Race — hire her!
