As a judge, Visages approach to critiquing the queens comes from a place of tough love.

Im a mother to a queer child, she says.

The recognition has meant a lot to Sims, who has been a longtime member of theDrag Racefamily.

We have to remember that were not working with professional dancers here on the show.

Theyre contestants, and some of them have never had dance training before.

So, to me, it feels like Im part of the competition.

I actually do want each one of them to succeed when Im choreographing, and thats whats so important.

I just want to give Jamal his flowers because he works tirelessly and endlessly, adds Visage.

He does so much more that he is letting on.

And boy, do they.
