Pabllo Vittar has been on this blog before. One of the most famous (if not THE most famous) Drag artists in Brazil, Pabllo has showed the children once and again how it's done. With 7.66 million followers on YouTube, 3.1 million followers on Twitter and 12.5 million followers on Instagram, Pabllo is a force to be reckoned with. With shows like Queen of the Universe showcasing the singing talents of Drag artists, it's time we have a pop star that breaks that glass ceiling Ru Paul has been knocking on for years.

Also, coming from a country where Bolsonaro has touted his 'family values' and homophobia before, Pabllo is certainly a breath of fresh air:

Bolsonaro in 2019 spoke about his government’s “respect of traditional family values” and opposition to “gender identity” when he appeared alongside then-President Trump at a White House press conference. Bolsonaro during the same trip also met a group of evangelical Christians who included Pat Robertson.

Bolsonaro’s 2019 decision to suspend public funding of LGBTI-specific television projects and films sparked further criticism.

One of the former police officers who was charged with the 2018 murder of Marielle Franco, a bisexual Rio de Janeiro councilwoman, lived in the same exclusive condominium complex in which Bolsonaro had a home when he was a congressman. Former Congressman Jean Wyllys, an openly gay man who was a vocal Bolsonaro critic, in 2019 resigned and fled Brazil because of death threats.

After being recently nominated for a Latin Grammy for the second time, now Pabllo seems ready to take on the world. And not a moment too soon.

The power they have.
