Minneapolis City Pages just announced their Best of the Twin Cities awards, and selected me as their "Best Gay Icon of 2009!" I'm deeply honored and humbled to receive such a fabulous honor! Here is an excerpt from the award:
Wanda Wisdom, the "single, sober drag queen hostess with the mostest,"
has not only inspired LGBT folks and straight allies within our
fly-over borders, but cool, queer people across the globe. The
self-described "original podcasting drag queen" covers a plethora of
topics near and dear to our hearts, like the issue of grooming our
respective junk areas. But in addition to hygiene, the workout fanatic
also peppers her podcasts with health tips and nutritious diet ideas,
and she helps listeners feel good about themselves on whatever journey
they're traveling. Wanda also shares her words of wisdom in editorials
in the local LGBT magazine Lavender. Where Wanda uses humor to impart her messages, her alter ego, Bradley Traynor, is more straightforward as the voice of the Big Gay Newspodcast, which reports on gay rights issues across the country.
The original story is available on their website.
