Ongina Tells Her Parents, Delivers Check to School for Gays

Earlier we posted an item about "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant Ongina's emotional and gutsy revelation.

Now, we learn she has opened up to her parents. And, yesterday she delivered a $25,000 to the Harvey Milk School in NYC, on behalf of the MAC AIDS Fund, a foundation arm of the makeup company. The school, like the rest of the country, has experienced major budget cuts.

Harvey Milk High School has grown to serve a student body of 100, all of whom must transfer in to enroll, and it is now under the aegis of the Board of Education, though its landlord is Hetrick-Martin. Harvey Milk is not like any other New York City high school. About 25 percent of its student population is transgendered — people who are born of one gender but identify with the other.
The school is noted for being a space where students do not have to conform, where girls can declare their orientation by wearing butch hip-hop baggy wear and boys come to school in wigs, dresses, high heels and makeup.

Video after the jump. Ongina talks about the day she told her mom and offers fashion and beauty tips. Plus, she revelas how many shoes she has hiding under bead and, of course, where she gets those gorgouix hats.
