Who's dragging who?

We never expected elders watching ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ would react like this

“What was I looking at there? Female impersonators!”

“It’s becoming more and more outrageous… That’s as outrageous as I’ve ever seen. So I try to stay away from watching it.”

“It’s just a lot of drama and da-da-da, the yadda-yadda-ya…”

Yes, it’s a colorful and reactionary world when you sprinkle a handful of senior citizens in front of an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

And no, it’s not a lot of huffing, puffing, and get-off-my-lawnisms — although there is plenty of that, too.

“I give ’em credit,” says one. “They do get lost in the character and what they are portraying, and good at it! It’s really funny.”
