Sylvester’s legacy has resonated with those who knew him personally and those who followed in his footsteps. After embracing drag himself, the scene exploded in the 1970s, along with that of gay culture especially after Stonewall occurred. Those years that followed represented remarkable period of transformation for gays, lesbians, and trans. That transformation was about visibility, which Sylvester definitely helped through his own doings, as he never hid from displaying who he was. RuPaul, arguably the world’s most famous drag queen would definitely not be where he is now had Sylvester not been there. His career has included a string of dance singles, a duet with Elton John, and presenting slots at The Brtis. His show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has become a major hit success as well and empowers drag queens to the best of their abilities.
