RuPaul's Drag Race

RuPaul's Drag Race is on the Logo channel on Monday's at 10pm est. time and this is the third season. I have to watch season one and two. It so entertaining. I forgot how much I enjoy watching Drag Queens until I came across RuPaul's Drag Race TV show.  Seeing the transformation from males to DQ's is amazing. Wow, wow, wow!!! The performances and challenges are over the top. The contestants are creative and catty. The prize is a combo of gifts and $75K.  Not bad.

I hope that RuPaul's Drag Race show will change peoples mind about transgender, drag queens and homosexuals.  Today in the mall we saw a man dressed as a woman.  He did not have full make up and he had a white goatee. He was with a woman who was dressed very similar. He had a short hot pink skirt, hot pink high heel shoes and over the top accessories.  I immediately got excited because I am all about people expressing themselves. People who are true to themselves, regardless of the consequences.  I said to my hubby "I love it" as they passed us.  I repeated it to the lady walking behind them as she made eye contact and I thought she thought they were cool also, but she rolled her eyes at them.  Ok, she is entitled to her opinion.  I kept it moving. On the way out the mall my hubby told me as I was trying clothes, the sales clerks were talking about the man dressed as a women and his female companion.  The clerk said that they are married and he dresses as a woman to honor his son as he passed away. They go to the mall four to five times a week and he is banned from some stores because his skirt is to short. She then said that he needs to honor his son in another manner because she doesn't want to see it and that she wouldn't want her kids to see it.  It pissed me off to hear such bullshit. Yes she is entitled to her opinion but that man dressing as a woman does not affect your bank account, household, job, lifestyle, car, kids, health, safety, etc  So why does it matter to some people??  Why??? I just don't understand why we can not be tolerable of each other.  You may see him for a few minutes, big fucking deal.  He will go about his business as shall you. 

We saw the couple again as we waited for my milkshake and I wanted to talk to them.  Especially after what my hubby overheard.  I wanted to take their pics and put their story on blog along with this post but I did not want to impose.  Again I hope RuPaul's Drag Race changes at least one person’s negative thoughts about transgender, drag queens and homosexuals.
