Shemalena Gomez

Shemalena Gomez is the stage name of Hugh Brandon, an American drag performer and Selena Gomez tribute act from Seattle, Washington. Shemalena is best known for being a contestant on Season 3 of Daniel's Song Race, where she placed 4th. She will return for All Stars Season 1.

Drag Name Origin
The drag name "Shemalena Gomez" is derived from the world shemale, which is often considered a derogatory term against a trans woman who has not yet had sex reassignment surgery, and Selena Gomez. Despite some outcry from those in the trans community about the use of a slur in the name, Brandon has stuck with the name, saying its only purpose is comedic and not to offend anyone.
