‘Drag Race’ Stars Explain Why Wednesday Addams Is a Gay Icon – Out Magazine

Stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race paid homage to Wednesday Addams at a party promoting an upcoming Netflix show centered on the popular Addams Family character, Wednesday.

Violet Chachki, Gottmik, Crystal Methyd, and Mo Heart took the stage Wednesday at Los Globos in Los Angeles dressed in goth-inspired lewks; Methyd even crawled out onstage as Thing, the disembodied hand from the Addams universe.

The event, dubbed “WednesGay,” was hosted by Ts Madison and brought out some LGBTQ+ notables, including Brandon Black, Hunter Doohan, Johnna Dias-Watson, Jennie Garth, Chris Colfer, Vincint, and Brandon Kyle Goodman. There were wig giveaways and even a tricked-out hearse at the party in honor of the show.
