Saskatchewan drag queen to appear on Canada’s Drag Race
Growing up in small-town Saskatchewan in First Nations communities, Layten Byhette didn’t see anyone who looked like them.
“This was something I had wanted since I was a teenager watching … RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said Byhette, who now goes by the performer name Chelazon Leroux.
“I saw other queer individuals who were celebrating theirselves and their queerness.”
That was something Leroux wanted to portray too — even at age 14.
