We’re gonna go out on a limb and say every single gay person in New Hampshire was in the Red Arrow Diner Saturday when RuPaul stopped in.
For years, the Arrow has been a popular destination for candidates looking to garner votes, but the Drag Race host—who out of drag for the occasion—had a different message in advance of next week’s primary: “I am not Ron Paul!” he clarifies in the clip above. “And I am not running for president of the United States!”
That’s a shame—Ru would actually make a better Commander in Chief than Ron “I promise I’m not a racist homophobe” Paul—in or out of drag.
Ru is probably using this whistle stop to drum up a little attention for the new season of Drag Race (coming January 30!), but that’s a-okay in our book. We’re gonna need some reality-television feva to get our minds off these GOP nuts and their campaign foolishness.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Of course, that’s not to say there’s not some overlap between drag queens and American politics: As Ru announced to the crowd, “Let us not forget that this great nation was founded by a bunch of men wearing wigs!”

Smart way to create a disruption. Love it!

it’s very sweet of him to do this (even if it may be more of a publicity stunt than an actual political statement), however, he gets it wrong.
Ru says “if you can’t love yourself, how are you going to love somebody else?”
The problem is, the Republicans most definitely love themselves.
It’s others they hate.

It’s just not the same when he’s not in drag..

I love it! I wish we could do more make the republican primary a circus. And this is a great way to get attention and fight the hate that they have for us. When done with good humor, we win in the long run.

I have nothing against RuPaul, but…everytime I see him as a man he looks like he could be some strange cult-leader.
