Sussex Beacon Fundraising

Jamie: Drag Queen at 16

“I’ve had a secret, I’ve had to hide it my whole life” begins Jamie Campbell on BBC3 documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16. The documentary follows his journey to perform as his alias FiFi La True and ultimately arrive at his high school prom dressed in drag.

Jamie has faced difficulties since coming out at 14 and states he cannot remember a single day in his life when he hasn’t been told he’s different or a freak. Therefore, arriving at his prom provides a double whammy of revealing who he really is to his peers and “not letting them win.” Brave boy.
