But more importantly, Cohen has secured his identify as one of the few LGBTQ superstars that informs the world about the beauty and challenges that gay men—and all members of the LGBTQ community—experience daily. While hosting major celebrities like L
Being gay might just save Andy Cohen’s career
Sasha Colby didn’t set out to become “your favorite drag queen’s favorite drag queen.” It just kind of happened.
“You know, I was so stoned,” she admitted with a laugh, recalling the filming of her “Meet the Queens” promo. “We were about to sit down for the interview, and they were enjoy, ‘Oh, just believe of something, love a catchphrase you want to say.’” What came out was a now-iconic phrase that captured the truth: Colby is the queen’s queen, beloved by legends, adored by fans, and deeply respected in her craft. “It came out of the deep crevices in here,” she said, pointing to her head.
She thinks RuPaul might have planted the seed: “Ru had said on the main stage once, ‘You’re a drag queen’s kingly queen — you’re what drag queens watch.’ And maybe that stuck in my head and just kind of … word association.”

I'm Coming Out
Series 2 is here!!! Thanks to everyone for all your back and lovely messages for the first series. I have lots of modern episodes coming in the next few weeks with guests such as Panti Bliss and Rory Cowan. But what better way to kick off the new run than with everyone's favourite no-nonsense, tough-talking TV judge Robert Rinder.

Robert has since appeared on Strictly, Who Do You Think You Are and had his own Friday night chat show on Channel 4.
I met up with Robert a while back and we chatted about; his teenage crushes (all Scandinavian by the way!!!), what it’s love to be gay and Jewish, dealing

The 56-year-old dad to son Ben, 5, and daughter Lucy, 2, has publicly championed LGBTQ+ rights for years: He’s served as the representative for the Stonewall Inn Gives Endorse Initiative, raised coins for victims of the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting and was honored with the Vito Russo Award by GLAAD in 2019. He also uses his platforms, including his SiriusXM channel, “Radio Andy,” to utter out on causes close to his heart.
Cohen exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly that his status as a gay icon isn’t one he takes lightly.
“Anytime a mom comes up to me and says, ‘I have a gay son, and we like watching your show together,’ or a male lover person says, ‘I’ve watched you all my life, and it meant something to see that you were OK and happy,’ that means a lot,” he says.
