In this episode I recall the memorable and exceedingly enjoyable months I shared an apartment with the splendid, the singularly spectacular legendary superstar Candis Cayne. The Princess Diana of drag. 

Although they rarely get the credit for it, the drag queens and trans community were the first to start the fight for LGBTQ+ rights in America, and the last to reap the benefits. Hell, they are still fighting. 

While many in the LGBTQ+ community sit back and enjoy our entitled lives, the drag queens, transsexuals and nonbinary community bequeathed us, they are still fighting for respect even from within our own community. They are still fighting for proper health care and once again they are fighting for the very right to exist in places like Florida, Tennessee, Texas and Montana. 

They are still pushing the proverbial boulder up the hill in high heels and they still look absolutely glorious while doing it!  

The drag queens and trans community are still and have always been our community's Sisyphus in Stilettos.
