You’re going to be shocked by this, but I voted for RuPaul. He so deserves it. It’s a really funny show — it would be a feather in the cap of the TV Academy to give a trophy to a transgender [note: RuPaul is a drag queen, not a transgender person], and I’d give anything to hear his acceptance speech.”— Anonymous Emmy voter, spilling the tea on their 2016 ballot and being corrected by the good editors at The Hollywood Reporter. And on that note, what’s so shocking about it?! At least they got the part about Ru deserving it right.

“a” transgender? OMG so much wrong with this!

Ru is not Trans as he has never had a a sex change surgery.

@ErikO: You don’t have to have surgery to be trans. Ru is not trans because he does not identify as a woman.

Ru Paul is a drag queen and identifies as gay.

Not surprising. Trans have lied and taken credit for so much, while doing nothing, so often the straight would can’t tell the difference in a drag queen.

@IDoNotHaveToAgreeWithYou:
I love how the log Cabiner here is trying to use a misinformed EMMY voters comment to try and pretend this was some scripted attack by the transmission community.
Make no mistake, the rational thinkers all abandoned Log Cabin. The only gay Republicans left are anti-lgbt self haters
