Patti LuPone's Drag Race Homage Steals the Show at GLAAD Awards

Broadway icon and queer ally Patti LuPone made a dazzling appearance at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, turning the ceremony into a love letter to queer culture. The three-time Tony Award winner attended the event alongside her Agatha All Along co-stars Joe Locke, Sasheer Zamata, and series showrunner Jac Schaeffer. The Marvel spin-off series won Outstanding New Series, a testament to its powerful portrayal of LGBTQ themes. But it was LuPone’s unexpected homage to RuPaul’s Drag Race that stole the spotlight. During her speech, she quoted feminist icon Angela Davis, declaring, "I can no longer accept the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept." She followed it up with a nod to Harvey Milk, saying, "Coming out is the most political thing you can do." Then, in classic LuPone fashion, she launched into a string of Drag Race catchphrases that brought the house down. She passionately trilled, "You’re perfect. You’re beautiful. You look like Linda Evangelista!"—an iconic line from Aja’s Untucked showdown. Social media lit up after this event. Aja posted on Instagram: “Omg I’m gagging!!!!! You’re a modelllll.” Bianca Del Rio and Latrice Royale also reshared the video, celebrating LuPone’s impeccable delivery. The ceremony honored more queer excellence, with RuPaul’s Drag Race winning Outstanding Reality Series – Competition, 9-1-1: Lone Star nabbing Outstanding Drama Series, and Heartstopper earning Outstanding Kids & Family Programming or Film – Live Action. Queer rapper Doechii was named Outstanding Music Artist, following in the footsteps of last year’s winner, Reneé Rapp.
