Bio

Benaddiction is a Phoenix-born drag performer and the reigning Miss Gay Arizona America 2026.

A fixture of the Arizona drag scene, she placed 1st Alternate at Miss Gay Arizona America 2025 then came back in 2026 to win Miss Gay Phoenix America and take the state crown at the Tempe Center for the Arts.

Off the runway, she uses her platform to lift up underrepresented voices and artistry and to stand up for queer Arizonans, including a 2026 conversation on the ACLU of Arizona's Read the Room podcast about drag, community, and what's at stake.

More pageantry is on the way.
