Asked why the LGBTQ community in particular seems to face a greater struggle with addiction compared to the general population, Fame replies,
“It’s a way to escape the pain when you come from a family that never accepted you for who you were that might have pushed you out. You’ve got expectations because the LGBTQ community is very hard on each other…it’s like a social band-aid.”
For those struggling with addiction, Miss Fame urges seeking help:
“Whether you find me relatable or not, I have been through the trenches, I know what it’s like to be through the darkest hour, I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, alone, suicidal and a lot of resentment. Know that it does get better. There is so much help out there in the world.”
