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.

Siblings and His Birth Order

RuPaul Andre Charles was born November 17, 1960 in 
San Diego, California. He was the third of four children 
and the only boy. A look at the birthdates of his siblings 
will give us his birth order.

Renae Ann Charles (twin) 10-18-1953         #1                            Renetta Ann Charles (twin) 10-18-1953      #2 
                                                                                                                               7  Year Gap

                                                                                                      RuPaul Andre Charles 11-17-1960          #3/1                Rosalind Annette Charles 1-28-1962       #4/2          

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.

Early Years : Education

When he was seven his parents divorced and he and his 
three sisters lived with their mother. When he was 15 he 
moved to Atlanta Georgia with his older sister Renetta. It 
was there he attended the Northside School of Performing 
Arts.

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.
