RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Valentina has come out as non-binary.
The fan favourite shared the news during an interview with Out magazine, in which she also clarified her preference for she/her pronouns.
"I identify as non-binary,” she said.
“I don’t completely feel like a man, I don’t completely feel like a woman."
She continued: “I feel like a goddess. I feel like I’m my own gender.”
The 27-year-old performer and beauty queen will soon make her stage debut as Angel Dumott Schunard in Fox’s live production of RENT.
Speaking to Out about the role, she said: ““I get to bring that aspect to my Angel character and really have an idea of like, ‘Why is she so happy and so confident in her armour, in her drag?’"
She added: “I do take the responsibility of being a gay non-binary drag queen person taking on a really important iconic role like Angel and I hope [audiences] tune in for it.”
