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.

I love them! I also, as a proud drag king, love the fact that they are deliberately dawing attention to this part of gay culture.

Ugh Drag queens, the idea that camp was somehow ever important, and Drag kings are best left in the past along with walking stereotypes that you see in “Boys in the band”.
Most GLBT people are not into drag and don’t want to even imitate the opposite gender at all so it’s not any part of what passes as a GLBT “culture” nowadays.

@Drew: Speak for yourself and not the rest of us honey. Some of us still love the camp, whether doing it or watching it. Just ’cause you don’t care for it, doesn’t mean you have to sneer. That’s sooo unatractive Sweetie. đ

@Drew: the gay scene would be very boring if everyone conformed! drag queens, drag kings, screaming queens, big butchish gym queens and gym bunnies, leather guys, skinheads, lipstick lesbians, butch lesbians and of course your average joe makes the gay scene what it is, DIFFERENT!
Fitz
Really really liked the song, but not as much the video.. It’s kind of cliche and been-done to see someone getting into and out of drag. But i did love the song!

@Drew: I beg to differ. Plenty of us still do drag and love it.
