2021-08-28 12:37:34 +0000 UTCYes - lol - I know it QUITE well umm.... I didn't know she was also a lesbian, that is especially exciting for someone like me. Maybe someday she will come here to the Castro to perform.

2021-08-27 12:37:46 +0000 UTCExactly why I said it's new to me but I look forward and want to learn more :) And I hadn't read or heard she was also lesbian, I welcome her into my world and maybe I'll even see her at the clubs one day :)

2021-08-27 12:36:13 +0000 UTCyou mean a gay woman, because she isn’t straight! L ya know as in the first letter of LGBTQIA+?!?!

2021-08-27 04:54:06 +0000 UTCShe actually identifies as lesbian! But yes - having an "AFAB" queen on the show is very new for a lot of people. In reality, there are a lot of of "AFAB" drag queens apart of local drag shows. So, having that representation on Drag Race is super important. :)

2021-08-26 20:08:03 +0000 UTCI know this is controversial, but I still don't know how to feel about having a straight woman on as a Drag Queen, I guess I just don't understand it bc it is not something I have seen before. Like I said, controversial I know. So I am open to learning more! I look forward to it. :) It's a whole new world!

2021-08-26 11:22:31 +0000 UTCWhen the controversy with Charity first came to light, i was thinking these were some RECENT tweets. Once I realized how old they were when they posted said tweets, I was over it. Granted, I did find her behaviour of blocking people who called her out on them a touch suspect. Instead of facing them head on. As Bussy says, don't judge a person for their past, but for their present.

2021-08-25 23:09:38 +0000 UTCI can’t believe how fast they pumped this out. I guess because they are now shooting without ANY days off / in between shooting dates. From what I remember, Willam said that on Race Chaser. On another note, new Patreon have follower here! I was so nearly the 1,000th! 🥳

2021-08-25 22:39:09 +0000 UTCI did wonder if the lack of diversity was down to which Queens applied for the show. I understand some queens struggling financially, we had been in lockdown for between 7-12 months so they wouldn’t have been working that much, if at all. I also wondered if the fan base disputing weather a Queens drag is valid puts some Queens off. If they’ve had to fight to get to the stage they’re at then I can imagine it would be daunting to possibly have to do it again.

2021-08-25 20:22:04 +0000 UTCI’m sorry about Charity Kase, but I read their apology on Twitter and they were 16 when they used offense language and are sincerely apologetic. They are really very talented; maybe the best makeup artist ever on Drag Race. They had something very serious and sad happen to them. If you want to see their talent and story, check out the Vogue magazine sight on YouTube and watch ‘Inside Charity Kase’s Extreme Beauty Routine’. It’s excellent.
