Kylie Sonique Love, 38, walked away with a crown, a cash prize and a spot in U.S. “Drag Race Hall of Fame.”For the first time in the history of the U.S. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” franchise, a transgender contestant has been crowned the winner.

Love first appeared on the second season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” in 2010 and was eliminated in the fourth episode. During that season, Love appeared prior to her transition, which took place shortly after filming wrapped. Earlier this year, prior to the debut of the newly wrapped season, Love told NBC News that she struggled during her 2010 “Drag Race” appearance.

Watching that season back can be “triggering” for her, she said, but she also sees the silver lining.

NBCOUT And this is why she won for more headlines yes my boo is talented but the crown didn’t belong to her it was given and that’s just tea we can just agree to disagree she won one challenge and wether she save the trip or not she fucked up rajah or ginger deserved that crown sorry

NBCOUT Well deserved!!!!

NBCOUT ❤️❤️❤️❤️

NBCOUT She was amazing all season and a truly deserving winner! Thank you queen xoSonique! 👑👑👑👑🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️❤️❤️❤️

NBCOUT i was team kylie all the way, but on your last lip sync i was no longer team kylie: I WAS the head and supervisor of your fan club. congrats my queen

NBCOUT A well deserved win!!! What a 👑 !!!! Well done Kylie!

NBCOUT Not the First.

NBCOUT We LIVE for xoSonique !!!!

NBCOUT Queen 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

NBCOUT *a trans WOMAN in USA, get it right

Would have been cool with Eureka winning it too, but glad to see xoSonique take the crown. She earned it every step of the way and showed how well rounded she was. Acting, comedy, beauty. She can do it all and do it all really well!

These comments really show that nobody bothered to read the article before getting angry

First US winner*

No shade but this strongly feels like one of the reasons that she has won is due to the fact that she is trans and rupaul once had ... let's just say..a problem with trans queen's:)

Angele Anang is the first Trans to win Drag race, Kylie is the FIRST Trans Winner on the MAIN STAGE OF RUPAULS DRAG RACE they are both 1st winners period!

Kylie deserved it! She is truly the next Drag Superstar🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The winner right from the start!

Spoiler: the article talks about Angele. 👌 Some of y’all commenting without reading it!

yaaaas

Kylie has a wonderful personality and is multi-talented, but this Crowning was total PR to placate the haters. Ginger deserved the crown more.

The comment section is a good reminder to read the article before you comment.

Angele Anang from Drag Race Thailand did it first!

the first transgender winner from Drag Race is Angele Anang, get your facts together.

there’s been a bunch of non-binary winners but i guess they don’t matter!

We love you Kylie

Really wish you would clarify that headline instead of doing so in the body of the article. I love Kylie Sonique Love, but she's the second transgender winner. Angele Anang was the first.

Angele was the first!! both of these amazing queens will reign with proud!!

jafarfetched So happy my girl won 😘

Damn right they did

AngeleAnang would like a word

Love.

Not first.

Condragulations, xoSonique !!!
