Darren Criss says he’s done playing gay characters, but technically speaking, doing Mariah Carey drag isn’t gay.
Except… it’s pretty gay. And we’re living for it.
The American Crime Story: Versace star donned a crop top, shimmering heels and blonde locks to perform Carey’s “Heartbreaker” on Lip Sync Battle, earning the attention on Ms. Mariah herself.

I’m sorry, doing Mariah Carey drag is pretty gay, as is the campy “these old things?” sashay. I thought you were being all straight boy now, out of heartfelt respect for the ‘mos.

Maybe he’s rethinking that since he’s won all these awards playing a homo. He’s an idiot anyway trying to turn his back on parts that made him who he is. Thinks he’s above that now and doesn’t want to be cast in only gay roles or gods forbid thought of as one of us……

Yawn @ straight men appropriating gay culture. World of Wonder should sue their asses.

Umm…Angola decriminalized gay sex today and added LGBT protections. Kinda big news for an African country to do…so was thinking ya’ll could cover that. Ya know, since it’s bigger gay news than a straight guy running around in drag.

more appropriate for the mainstream media to cover. Not exactly on the bucket list of places to see for the gay traveller, would only get lip service here.

I thought he said that he wasn’t going to play gay any more

Now if they would just mash up LSB with RPDR….
Celebrities competing against real lip sync assassins!

I guess he’s pseudo prostituted himself to the gay community as much as she has slept her way up the ladder of commercial and material success.

In a couple years when people are saying Darren who? He will be starring in the summer stock version of ChiChi LaRue- The Musical.

You are absolutely right. But i am here to advise you the best place for gay singles. Just check my nick-name. There are a lot of real gay sugar “daddies” and frivolous gay singles looking for love and pleasure.

I just can’t wait for the day Ms Criss announces that he’s at last found his true self and is really at least bi-sexual if not 195% gay.
