When's the last time a Drag Queen hurt anybody? I don't remember any incidents.
June 28, 1969 Marsha and a few friends really hurt the fee fees of some fascist losers by having the audacity to stand up for themselves.
Thats the only thing I can come up with.
Rest in power Marsha.
2008, Hess Village, a drag queen told me "you know clothes come in colours now, right?" It wasn't even part of a set — I was just walking on the sidewalk.
of course they do. that's why I wear two of them - one colour for my pants, and one colour for my shirt
nothing too bright, of course
Hess village in hamilton? Thats your problem, its the people who go to hess, not drag queens specifically that are the issue.
Is there any other? As someone who used to go there, I can confirm I was also on occasion the issue.
I believe in democracy. We should have Drag Presidents or Drag Prime Ministers instead IMO.
That’s dragocracy. Still, better than what the USA has now.
How actually great would that be though
I grabbed a drink with a buddy a couple weeks ago at a bar that happened to be having Drag Bingo. The host kinda guilt-tripped me for not playing. That's about the worst interaction I've ever had with a Queen.
Most famous one I have in recent memory was Sherry Pie, lied to a bunch of young gay men saying he was auditioning for something and coerced them into recording themselves doing sexual actions.
Not the worst thing in the world but still is a pretty awful thing to do to others
Edit; probably important to note that he did this out of drag, his drag persona was not involved at all (iirc)
