'Some people are afraid of accepting people that are different than them,' says drag queen Bella Aldama. 'Thankfully, LGBTQ+ people and people of color are all around and we will not be erased.'

Bella, or Miss Bella, as she’s known to her younger fans, frequently headlines “Drag Queen Story Hours” at public libraries, where she reads books to children. Which is how she accidentally, and without her knowledge, caused a raging national political debate.
Ahmari’s, uh, colorful language — “defeating the enemy and enjoying the spoils” — and the subsequent response from French hit a particular nerve among right-wing and conservative writers . The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Intelligencer all produced analyses and responses. The New York Times devoted two different op-ed columns, one from Bret Stephens and one from Ross Douthat, to the debate, which Douthat described as a “war.
Because I was curious to know what Bella might think about inadvertently causing a “war” between conservative thought leaders, I reached out. Aguirre said he had no idea what I was talking about, but he was kind enough to answer all of my questions anyway.I started doing drag about seven years ago. Bella’s persona is a glamorous Mexican woman that is proud of sharing her language and heritage through music and fashion. She is also a more outgoing version of myself.
