RuPaul in Drag |
Rolling Stone has said that RuPaul “…is this nation’s
preeminent drag queen pop star.” His rise to stardom took
over a decade but it was his goal since childhood. He has
a multimedia career as an actor, singer, author, talk show
host, radio DJ, and product pitch person.

will give us his birth order.

Because of
the seven-year gap in age between the twins
and RuPaul he and his younger sister start a second family
group and he gets a Double Birth Order. He is the third
born but the oldest in the second family so he also has a
#3/1 birth order.

Family Dynamics
What makes
his Double Birth order so interesting is that
he had older twin sisters. Twins get much more attention
than their other siblings. Being the firstborns, the twins
would have gotten the majority of the family’s attention.
RuPaul had to do something special to make an impact in
the family. Being the only boy would have helped him
receive a special place. He may have tried to emulate his
older twin sisters as he saw them as his older role models.
He does say it was his older sister Renetta that taught him
how to do a runway walk. He felt he was feminine-looking
from being around girls all the time, he acted feminine too.
He was always being mistaken for a girl. This is when he
started wearing his sister’ clothes, the rest is history.

The Three/One Double Birth Order
When someone
has a Double Birth order they show
characteristics of both birth orders in a random fashion.
The Firstborn likes to be the leader and be “in charge”.
You might say Firstborns have executive abilities. They
don’t like to make mistakes and have the strength to keep
on course. The Third born is the dreamer and is open to
all possibilities in life. The artist with a desire to spread
their message to the world. Laughing on the outside but
crying on the inside is how they project their image and
protect their inner feelings. Putting these two birth order
together you can now see RuPaul unmasked.

Personal Life
RuPaul married in 2017 to his longtime partner
Georges LeBar. They have been together since 1994.
LeBar is from Australia and is a painter, and also runs
a 50-acre ranch in Wyoming. RuPaul describes doing
drag is a “very, very political” act and “challenges the
status quo” This is why he feels he will never be
invited on the more popular shows. He does have a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the first drag
queen to get such an honor. I am sure he will
continue with his TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race and
similar projects. He says that whenever we put on
clothes we are going in “Drag”, he just chose the
opposite sex. His goal is to change the word’s view
of Drag. I would not underestimate RuPaul.
