Michelle Buteau is that girl—and she’s back for Season 2 of Survival of the Thickest. In this interview with Gayety, Michelle dives into the inspiration behind the Netflix series, queer representation on screen, and why drag bars are her version of a coffee shop.
She opens up about her comedy roots, the importance of friendship, and how small moments (and fashion statements!) can drive big change. Plus: how she brought trans and nonbinary joy to the forefront.
