8. I normally don't watch it
but did tonight. Of course Vanessa is a gay icon and after appearing on RuPaul's drag race, well...

One of the things I found interesting was that one of her relatives who fought in the Civil War for the Union, married a white woman in the 1800's. Imagine how difficult interracial marraige was then.
