"Grab those heels.
Yes, these are
metaphorical
heels. That could
be your activism."
-WYN WILEY,
AKA, PATTIE GONIA
Reach Back in
Your
Closet,
Sis
The industry falls in love with Pattie Gonia,
adventure drag queen. By Emma Murray
"I'M ME-HALF WYN, HALF PATTIE GONIA," SOCIAL-MEDIA SMASH HIT
Wyn Wiley said during the "Everyone's Outdoors" panel, sponsored by
Camber Outdoors, on Day 1 of the Show, first kicking out one foot, clad in
a signature six-inch platform heel, and then kicking out the other, bare and
slightly pink.
Last fall, Pattie Gonia, Wiley's drag persona, took Instagram by storm
when a video of her dancing in heels on the Continental Divide garnered
123 million views almost overnight.
Wiley, a 6-foot-4 gay male and photographer from Nebraska, wants
Pattie Gonia to spark and facilitate conversations about inclusivity, drag,
and overall positivity in the outdoors. Wiley hopes to lead by example,
showing that even though self-actualization can be a difficult journey, it's
worth taking a stand and embodying what you believe in and appreciating the vast spectrum of beings.
"This new me, it feels so weird...hashtag identity crisis," Wiley admitted with a laugh, drawing attention back to his mismatched feet. "But
here's the thing: It's going to start to feel good."
Drawing on the notion of "coming out of the closet," Pattie Gonia
encourages folks to "go back in that closet" to recruit and reconnect with
the essence of their identity. "Grab those heels. Yes, these are metaphorical heels. That could be your activism-something you want to believe
in, whatever that is, reach back in that closet. Realize when you wear
your heels, there is a whole world out there that is ready to love you and
accept you and celebrate you."
