Maddy Morphosis will be the reality competition show's first-ever heterosexual, cisgender male contestant.

A gaggle of 14 queens will vie for the $100,000 grand prize — including the show’s first-ever heterosexual, cisgender male contestant.

The after-show, “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked,” will premiere immediately following the premiere at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. For several seasons, the “Drag Race” franchise has expanded its vision of what defines a drag queen. The just-concluded third season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” included the franchise’s first cisgender woman, Victoria Scone, who identifies as a lesbian. The first season of “Drag Race UK” featured a bisexual performer, Scaredy Kat, who had a girlfriend when he was on the show.

Bringing a straight man into the “Drag Race” workroom, however, marks the first time someone who does not identify as LGBTQ has participated on the show that has been celebrated for bringing queer identities into the mainstream.Continuing the long tradition of Puerto Rican contestants on “Drag Race,” Alyssa is known as an accomplished pageant queen.

Thank you so much Bryan_Conn for bringing this joy and happiness into my life. Since he introduced me into binary options my life has changed because I've been earning massively. I started my investment last 2 weeks with $500 and I've earned over $10k now. A win for 2021

Good for him, though the status quo entering a reality competition show should not be news on the main Twitter feed. Put it in the entertainment section or something.

This comment section. is. gonna. be.

is he though?
