Minor Disappointment strikes a pose
Already a 5-year veteran of the art, Canada's a Drag joins the performer to celebrate their 19th birthday party.Minor Disappointment is just one of the many extraordinary subjects featured in the fourth season of Canada's a Drag, a docu-series from CBC Arts that shines a light on some of this country's drag heroes.
Minor Disappointment has been performing drag since they were 14 years old. This past winter, they turned 19, which might suggest they might need a name change — they're no longer a minor!"Turning 19 does feel special," Minor says, "now that I'm able to engage with drag in a way that I couldn't before. Because I started drag so young, I've been kind of conservative with my expression in a way to protect myself.
We're looking forward to seeing what Minor has in store for us in this new, of-age era, and we were quite honoured to be invited to celebrate with them. That's because Minor let us join in on their 19th birthday party in this stunning new episode ofSpecial Consultants: Rose Butch, Gay Jesus and Sarah WorthmanMinor Disappointment defines themselves as a non-binary, trans-masculine drag artist and performer.
"It was like living in someone that I didn't know, in someone else's house," they say. "Having access to gender-affirming care helped me kind of paint a new exterior for the house. To have medical and mental health help during such a turbulent time in your life, it's necessary. It helped me immensely. I couldn't imagine going through my transition without it."Drag was also a huge help when Minor started officially performing three years into their transition.
"Minor has existed since the moment I was born," they say. "I learned to put words to it as I discovered drag."Peter Knegt is a writer, producer and host for CBC Arts. He writes the LGBTQ-culture column Queeries and hosts and produces the talk series Here & Queer.
