This is why Drag Queens are the best

When I was 16, I had a fake I.D. and decided to go to a gay bar by myself because some friends bailed on me. While there, an older gentleman bought me a drink. He wasn’t a creeper, and he definitely wasn’t unattractive. I accepted the drink and began talking to him. No big deal. As the hour progressed, I felt myself feeling strange. I mentioned that I felt like I had a headache, and this guy helped guide me out of the bar. As we were walking down the street, the thought of, ‘Oh god, he’s drugged me, I’m going to die’ came to my head. I tried to get away, but I was so drugged up that I could barely walk, let alone speak. It also didn’t help that I had really large ‘goth’ platform shoes because I was going through a phase. Anyway, this guy brought me to his suv and began undressing me. As a final act of defiance, I hit him over the head with my platform shoe. He then punched me, and I remember thinking, ‘Why don’t they ever give workshops to gay guys about being victims of rape too?’ While I was as careful as possible, I never saw the guy slip something in the drink. I even watched the bar tender make the drink. Anyway, I lied there completely paralyzed while this pervert was lubing up. I locked eyes with his for a moment, and that’s when it happened. A very large and angry drag queen opened the door of the vehicle and beat the shit out of my attempted rapist. She and her other drag friends helped dress and care for me while the police arrived. I was saved by a group of guardian drag queens. They were basically the modern day ‘angels from heaven.’

nothing has been more important to my being queer than when i went to my first pride parade, got seperated from my group, had a panic attack about it and was sitting on the side of the road holding a tiny genderfluid flag and freaking out. then this six foot five drag queen in four inch heels appeared from literally nowhere and sat down next to me. i, this scared-shitless trans bi kid at pride for the first time, very nervously told her she looked pretty and i told her my name and that i got lost and didn't feel like i should be at pride and she held my hand and said "oh, honey, everybody deserves to be here, especially you. pride is for everybody who's ever gotten lost, who's been scared of who they are or where they are. you think we never been scared before? pride's for you, honey, because you're scared. you don't have to be proud right now, but you're gonna be one day, honey, i'm sure of it."

i found my group soon after that and i never saw that queen again but to this day i am convinced i met an angel.

so yeah. pride is for you. pride is for all of us.

I would say drag queens are better than clowns I've never been nearly kidnapped by drag queens but clowns...

i saw some thread on xitter with some dude asking why drag queens "want to be around children so much" re: story hours and all the replies were either predictably disgusting or very defensive but not a single goddamn one of them answered the question so i will help in case anyone ever asks you this incredibly stupid question: they are clowns!! drag queens are just clowns!! they put on extremely silly makeup and huge wigs and bright clothes and do over-the-top performances that make people laugh and smile and sometimes cry. that is the definition of a clown. they like to perform for children because they are a type of clown and children are great audiences and it is not any deeper than that. god damn.

whiny conservatives: WHYYYY ARE YOU PUSHING YOUR VALUES ONTO USSSSS

theres no law that says you must attend, however there are many laws discriminating on people who are queer. seems like your the one pushing your values.

yeah, the mental gymnastics the conservatives are doing is enough to get them to the motherfucking Olympics at this point.

to make it even better I heard drag queen story hour actually received a "strange package". it could have actually had a bomb in it, which would've killed the performers along with general staff and the kids inside the building.

Can we talk about the inherit queerness of media that includes a group of people that have magic or superpowers? I recently started watching Doom Patrol, and I realized that this is enhanced in the show. They literally include drag queens and gender-nonconforming people as part of the main plot!! While they might not have nailed all the gender stuff (like saying Danny uses non binary pronouns instead of saying they use they/them), it's the purposeful placement of queer people in ostracized places that means a lot (at least to me). AND one of the main cast is a gay man!! From the 50s!! Who had to hide his queerness!! And now hides himself because of his "powers"!!

AND more of the main cast could be read as queer because of the nature of themselves (Rita thinking she's a monster for being queer or Cliff being trapped in a body that isn't his)!!

And it's not just Doom Patrol, although this is by far the best example I have at the moment.

Please tell me somebody else sees this. I can't be the only one seeing queer subtext in magic.

David Bowie in the Lützower Lampe, a Berlin Drag Bar, in 1977.

"The Magic Christian" is a 1969 British satirical farce black comedy film directed by Joseph McGrath and starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr with an uncredited appearance by Yul Brynner in drag.

Okay hear me out,

An all winners season would be incredible, drama filled, and just all out amazing.

But I want to see a season of all runner-ups. People who lost in the very last lip-sync, and were this close to winning but lost by a hair. People who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I just think it would be really great.

Like hit me with that Brooklyn vs Gigi and/or Crystal

Tell me that wouldn’t be amazing

Coincidence? I think not
