Wyn Wiley is a photographer, activist, Eagle Scout, and creator of Drag Queen environmentalist “Pattie Gonia.” Pattie was born two years ago when Wyn tossed a pair of six-inch boots into his pack before heading on a trip to the Continental Divide. Since then, Pattie has gained a following of nearly 300K people on Instagram by being a vocal environmental and LGBTQIA+ advocate and inspiring people to spend more time outdoors. 52 Hertz host Petrice Jones and Wyn discuss how Pattie defies heteronormative concepts of nature, who belongs outdoors, and if there’s such a thing as “sustainable drag.” We’ll also discuss what he’s learned from Pattie, the importance of intersectional environmentalism, and why “drag” is actually part of all of our lives.
