The source of Bernier's angst is a tweet from the official Twitter account run by Global Affairs Canada that praised Toronto-based drag queen Brooke Lynn Hytes, who will be the first Canadian to appear on the Emmy-award winning reality program RuPaul's Drag Race. That show sees drag queens compete for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar. Performers, typically gay men, dress in women's clothing and sometimes impersonate famous 'gay icons' to entertain patrons. "Maxime supports constitutional equality for all, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation or gender," a note on his website reads. #Shoutout to Toronto-born Brooke Lynn Hytes, who will be the first 🇨🇦 to compete on the Emmy Award-winning show, RuPaul’s Drag Race!
