Fans of Drag Race, Palm Springs, drag-tastic vacations and folk singer/comic Trixie Mattel, take note: Ms. Mattel has landed her own TV show, Trixie Motel.
Discovery+ made the announcement in a statement, with the show set to film late this year. Trixie Motel will follow Trixie and her boyfriend, David, as they take over an old-school motel in Palm Springs. The first season will run eight episodes, and chronicle their remodel of the building as they convert it into a drag-themed paradise.
“I can’t wait to give this run-down motel the facelift it so desperately needs,” said Trixie of the new business venture. “With help from my most famous celebrity friends, we’re going to create the glossiest Drag motel of your wildest fever-dreams.”
***this is not a joke.

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.
“***this is not a joke,” she followed up, just to clear up any confusion.

I’ve been off the Trixie bandwagon ever since he started claiming he’s an ex-gay.

He has a boyfriend named David. This is mentioned in the article. What are you referring to?

Reading is fundamental. The article says, “Trixie Motel will follow Trixie and her boyfriend, David, as they take over an old-school motel in Palm Springs.” People may use all kinds of labels about themselves but if you are a man with a “boyfriend” then you are probably NOT an “ex-gay.” You are probably thinking of the news from 2019, when Trixie Mattel was dating Mauricio Clark, who was supposedly an ex-gay–except that he “opened his heart” to Trixie Mattel, another man. There was a photo of them kissing on a Mexican gay magazine. Soooo, that must be what you’re thinking of, but the failed “ex-gay” wasn’t Trixie Mattel, who is gay as the summer days are long.

To everyone doubting, watch his interview with Lisa Vanderpump on youtube. He admits to liking women now in that interview and basically says being gay was a “choice” he made.

And having a boyfriend=/=gay. He’s ex-gay now. As I said, watch the Lisa Vanderpump interview.

Lol, no, Trixie is not ex-gay, she has just said that she now jerks off to women porn and thought she would. Which is a fantasy, you know, nothing to have with reality. Lots of gay guys talked about jerking off to women.
And even if she finds out she’s bi, doesn’t make her “ex-gay”, which is quitting having gay relationships altogether, but if you think that bisexuals are ex-gay, well, seems like someone’s biphobic.
Centrism
Orrine you’re ridiculous.
A) Gay men don’t jerk off to women. They may jerk off to scenes with women present, like in straight porn, but not to women themselves. If you do this, you’re bi or some sort of weird sex addict who needs help.
B) He’s already admitted to finding women sexually attractive now and he referred to his prior attraction to only men as being a ‘choice’ he felt compelled to make in his youth. Go watch the interview before you speak. You clearly have not.
C) How can I be biphobic toward Trixie if you insist he’s still gay? You’re speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
D) No, having a boyfriend doesn’t make him gay. An exclusive attraction to males makes one gay. Trixie now says he’s sexually attracted to females and males despite only liking men in the past. He’s ex-gay. There is no disputing that if you understand the english language. Sorry.

Wow, what a shock, the troll account can’t post the link to anything proving it’s comment.
Please, if Trixie had claimed to be Ex Gay that would have been all over twitter and the sites.
But it was a cute try, we know you’re here to attack anybody who is out of the closet.
