RuPaul’s Drag Race UK sensation Bimini Bon-Boulash delivered a powerful response to hate comments following their appearance on Lorraine to discuss their journey on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins 2025. As a prominent non-binary figure in the LGBTQ+ community, Bimini’s voice resonates with many seeking representation and inclusivity.
During the show, Bimini explained their motivation for joining the series: “I feel like those institutions aren’t necessarily built for people like me, so taking up space and showing that we can do it as well was what it was about.” Their insight serves as a reminder that queer individuals thrive in spaces often dominated by traditional norms.
Despite sharing valuable perspectives, Bimini faced a wave of negativity online. However, they turned the tables with a humorous TikTok video that ranked the hateful comments. “All these people have so much time on their hands to go on the internet and think that people give a s**t about their opinion,” Bimini quipped, stating, “Disclaimer: I don’t give a f**k about all of this. It makes me laugh.”
Ranking the Hate: Bimini’s Bold Reactions
Bimini showcased their wit by addressing the most egregious comments with a playful ranking system:
- “Who’s this pervert?” – Bimini responded, “If you really want to talk about the misuse of power within institutions, then you should look into Catholicism and Christianity.” They rated this comment a zero out of ten for its lack of creativity.
- “Celebrity? Never heard of him.” – To this, Bimini said, “Oh, well that’s a shame, ‘cause I’m fab.” They encouraged critics to check out their work, giving this comment a one out of ten.
- “Another attention seeker.” – Bimini humorously accepted this claim, acknowledging their Leo rising and Taurus traits, and rated it a five out of ten.
- “So you couldn’t interview any straight contestants?” – Bimini shot back, “No, unfortunately, all of the straight contestants were busy.” They gave this comment a three out of ten, reminding everyone that LGBTQ+ voices are here to stay.
Spreading Positivity: Bimini’s Empowering Message
In a heartfelt conclusion, Bimini offered a message to those spreading negativity: “I wish you nothing but positivity and love. I hope one day you might not be sad enough to go onto the internet and think that leaving hate comments… actually, if it made you feel better, I’m fine with it.” This response exemplifies the resilience and joy found within the LGBTQ+ community.
