"RuPaul's Drag Race" season five contestant Monica Beverly Hillz made history on Monday, February 4, when she revealed to the show's judges, her fellow drag queens and the world at large that she is transgender.
Though other "Drag Race" stars like season three's Carmen Carerra and season two's Sonique came out as trans once taping had finished, Monica Beverly Hillz is the first queen to do so while actively competing on the show.
We caught up with Monica to chat about her controversial revelation, what happened behind the scenes once she came out, what she wants the world to know about being trans and more.
