Summary

The wait is over, Mary! Season 9 has officially begun, and we are Gaga-GAGGED! We are given looks, looks, looks all episode, from mindblowing (Sasha Velour...) to middling (Jaymes...), and of course, so much wisdom, kindness and perfect pronunciation of fashion designers' names from Lady Gaga. Plus an Untucked for the ages and a final twist we saw coming from a mile away. Cu-cu-could it really be Cynthia? (Yes. Yes it is.)

The All right Mary. You know, I'm not a gay woman, you know, I'm not a gay woman, you know, and it's that, you know, touchy sort of subject, right?

0:25.8

Where can you stand up for people that you are not necessarily

0:30.0

fully part of that community in a way that you can understand what you all go through, right?

0:35.0

But I have always been surrounded by incredibly intelligent, powerful gay men who have lifted me up

0:42.0

through lots of changes in my life.

Becoming famous was very strange and it's the gay men in my life that helped me to become a woman and I don't know that a lot of people would understand that

2:22.2

community even though she's not gay.
