Climate activist and drag queen Pattie Gonia is speaking out against outdoor clothing and gear brand Patagonia for dragging the carabiner-earring-wearing man through the legal mud in an effort to take away his name. Pattie Gonia, whose real name is Wyn Wiley, says the adventure company has no right to demand the drag queen’s name because he named his drag persona after the South American region, not the company. “Patagonia told the media they’re only suing me for a $1, what they’re actually trying to do is take away my name permanently, and threaten me with more than $1 million in legal fees.
