U.S. Representative George Santos competed as a drag queen in Brazilian beauty pageants 15 years ago, two acquaintances told Reuters, adding to contrasts that have drawn criticism of the openly gay Republican congressman's staunchly conservative views
A 58-year-old Brazilian performer, who uses the drag name Eula Rochard, said she befriended the now-congressman when he was cross-dressing in 2005 at the first gay pride parade in Niteroi, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Three years later, Santos competed in a drag beauty pageant in Rio, Rochard said.
Emails to the congressman's press office and a newly hired communications director on Wednesday evening were not returned. He has backed Florida's "don't say gay" bill, which prohibits classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity.
