Courtney Act Looks Back on Her Life as a Drag Icon

The drag entertainer Shane Jenek, better known to the world as Courtney Act, has lived a pretty remarkable life and she’s just getting started.

A front runner on season 6 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Courtney’s season included many memorable people and moments that became a big part of queer culture.

But it wasn’t all fun, glitter and games. The show had issues with its lack of trans representation which put Courtney in the awkward situation of getting blocked by host RuPaul on Twitter for speaking out against the silent ban.

Ironically, today gender is more fluid than ever, and it feels like all the contestants on Drag Race are either trans or non binary.

Today Australian sensation Courtney Act joins us to give us the inside scoop on writing her new book Caught in the Act: A Memoir by Courtney Act
