RuPaul
b. Rupaul Andre Charles, 17 November 1960, Dan Diego, California, USA. A seven-foot tall (in heels), transsexual American diva package. At the age of 15 RuPaul took himself (as he then was) off to Atlanta, where he associated with the B-52's and appeared on cable television. Moving to New York, he would become part of the Wigstock counter-culture that also gave birth to Deee-Lite. He subsequently became a figurehead for the US gay movement when his debut album crossed over to the mainstream, and was a chat show favourite. He has been keen to tackle the role, leading a demonstration against the Ku Klux Klan in full drag. He obtained his own television series, and helped to present the 1994 BRIT Awards alongside a dwarfed Elton John.

I think it's extremely unfair that for Rupaul you list comedians as all but one related artist, as if he and his music is a joke. Rupaul is a very positive role model not to mention talented and creative. He is someone who, as a gay man, I have looked up to and admired since his debut in 1992. He continues to deliver fabulous music different from anyone else and entertains like no other.
