RuPaul is not just an amazing drag queen, he is also an amazing person with some amazing philosophies about life.

In this newly-released video from his New York Public Library interview, RuPaul discusses the fear men hold in embracing any part of their feminine side and how we, as humans, have this desire to hold onto facts about other people when really we should just be in the moment.

Enjoy!
