Courtney Act up for international gong
Australian drag diva Courtney Act – sometimes known as her alter-ego Shane Jenek – has been announced as one of the five finalists in Montreal’s annual Queer of the Year competition.
Originally from Sydney, the Australian Idol semi-finalist now lives in West Hollywood.
The Queer of the Year winner will be decided by public vote via Montreal Pride’s Facebook page and will be announced on August 19 during Montreal Pride’s closing ceremonies.
If Jenek wins, he’ll get $5,000 and a return trip to Montreal

LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
