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.
In the mini-challenge, the remaining queens must use their thirsty memories to match the models’ underwear.
Let us know when they make a home version — we’re all in.
Tune in to Drag Race (Thursdays at 8/7c) to see the dramatic conclusion, or catch a first look at the episode here.

I’m a dick man

I have nothing to say about Lauth’s genitals, but I wonder why someone who identifies as straight gets an opportunity usually reserved for a gay men.

Ru has never said the Pitcrew has to be gay.

@Abaca: I know for a fact that the pitcrew is not 100% gay men. About a tear ago i had the pleasure to actually meet some of them and hang out with them at a loval bar. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that at least 1 of the guys is straight (and i am talking about the core broup, not anyone who is cast as supplemental). As it has been said before, RuPaul never said they were all gay, they obviously have to be comfortable with gay men interacting with them.

@Abaca, while most of the pit crew members have been gay, certainly not all of them have been. Season 2’s pit crew was heterosexual and current pit crew member Bryce Eilenberg (the hot ginger) is heterosexual. This isn’t the first time there has been a straight man among the extended pit crew either. Quinn Jaxon, who has been on the extended pit crew from Andrew Christian is straight. I’m willing to bet that a few others have been straight too.
ElPillo
He,s hot, but if trans, that’s a sock in the pants.
DarkZephyr
@ElPillo, I doubt its a sock. It may be a prosthetic, OR it may be his own, created surgically. But either so what? His genitals are none of our business and those guys don’t go onto drag race to get oral sex, they go on there to look smoking hot in their underwear and he did just that. And the challenge itself was about their asses anyway. He wasn’t wearing socks in the back.
barkomatic
He’s definitely hot no doubt about it.

Laith is extremely handsome! Now if I could just get my big hands NOT on him, but rather those “muscle” stimulating drugs! hehe! 😉
