RuPaul Makes Herstory With First Ever Emmy Win
A big congrats to the drag mama herself, RuPaul, for winning his first ever Emmy award for Outstanding Host of a Variety, Nonfiction Or Reality Program.
The herstory was made on Sunday during night two of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
When the nominees were announced back in July, Ru sent out this dedication:
I dedicate this Emmy nomination to outsiders everywhere. Brave souls who stick to their dreams and make the world a more colorful place.
