Miss Gay IU, former winners explain lifestyle

The Read Center lounge was transformed on Nov. 15 into a large performance stage where drag queens strutted their stuff.

At Viva la Diva, three drag queens, all former Miss Gay IU winners, dressed in expensive looking drag clothes and layers of make-up and discussed their lives as performers.

“As Miss Gay IU, I think it’s important that I represent the community,” said India Black, Miss Gay IU 2007. “It was fun to talk to youth and the school and let them know about our art form.”
