'Being involved in GayDays is the best thing ever,' she said. Montrese has been a part of the celebration for more than ten years now, and she clears her schedule to make sure she can appear at GayDays every year, now as one of the celebrity faces of the event. 'That was probably part of why I wanted to become a part of GayDays.'
'It was one of the best times, especially for the entertainers because we felt safe, we felt secure, we felt happy,' Montrese said in an interview Monday. Drag performer Coco Montrese, who appeared in the competition reality show RuPaul's Drag Race, first noticed Disney GayDays long before she was famous - she saw the events firsthand during the 11 years she worked at Disney World as an entertainer, performing in parades and shows.
