Host Brooke Lynn Hytes thanked Trudeau for supporting the LGBTQ community and marching in the Pride parade.
"Can we move beyond 'tolerate' and start embracing, and loving, and accepting, and learning from and being challenged by? That's how you build a resilient society," Trudeau responded. "That's what we're trying to do in Canada, and we have a lot of work still to do."
Trudeau's appearance was brief, matching the vibrant energy of the spinoff, in which international drag queens compete in challenges and lip-sync battles until a winner is crowned.
