The U.S. Navy recently confirmed that it used a “drag queen influencer” as one of its “digital ambassadors.”
Kelley announced in November 2022 in a video on his Instagram page that the Navy asked him to be their “first” “Navy Digital Ambassador.”
“From joining to 2016 and being able to share my drag experience on my off time with my fellow sailors has been a blessing,” he continued. “This experience has brought me so much strength, courage and ambition to continue being an advocate and representation of queer sailors!” Kelley said he first performed drag for fellow sailors during a lip sync show on a deployment in 2018, and the video was released on “international platforms.”
