A ‘powerful’ outfit worn by Cheddar Gorgeous on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is to be exhibited in Manchester throughout February.
The bodysuit pays homage to the ‘Pink Triangle’ symbol used by activist group ACT UP during the AIDs crisis and received acclaim both on and off the screen for raising HIV awareness and educating viewers on the realities of HIV today.
Manchester-based performer Cheddar, who came runner-up on the hit BBC Three reality TV show last year, won the weekly runway challenge with the black outfit, which features a number of upward-pointing triangles. The shapes were reclaimed from the downward-pointing triangles used by Nazis to identify gay men within concentration camps during the Holocaust.
