Good for Ru Paul!

Leave it to a drag queen to have some balls.

“RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the reality-competition show RuPaul hosts on Logo, came under fire this past season for using “She-Mail” to describe messages from the host. (“Shemale” is considered a derogatory term for transgender people.) And RuPaul also courted controversy by remarking on Marc Maron’s podcast that those offended by the use of the word “tranny” “are fringe people who are looking for story lines to strengthen their identity as victims.” (For its part, Logo refused to broadcast “any anti-trans rhetoric.”)

Over the weekend, RuPaul accused those offended by his use of that term as well as “tranny” of operating in bad faith and policing his behavior in an attempt to become the oppressor, mocked the idea that the Logo network had distanced itself from his remarks, and joked about the concept of an LGBT community in the first place.

There’s more, and he pulls no punches.

Politically correct LGBT activists are becoming more oppressive and tyrannical than the people they believe are their theoretical oppressors.

Sooner or later, someone with the proper credentials will acknowledge something I have seen in the past decade: that LGBT activists have created a climate that actually keeps gays in the closet. Independent, self respecting people do not want to be owned by a bunch of self-appointed busybodies. The anti-gay so-con activists couldn’t accomplish such a thing in their wildest dreams, because they’re a joke.

Naturally, such ironies are totally lost on humorless gay Stalinists, who would probably just as soon keep people who disagree with their thinking in the closet.

It’s refreshing to see an outrageous public figure like Ru Paul mock them.

    1st amendment freedom of speech pertains to the government not passing laws on freedom of speech ;but even their the supreme court ( 5 conservative votes) rules all of the time against protesters exercising their freedom of speech and ruling in favor of money being speech to buy elections. Conservatives complain about liberal censorship ‘but have no problem with their own!

    So pleased to see you approve of funny Stalinists of the type at the Southern Poverty Legal Center.

    Eric:
    In answer to “Huh?” maybe this is what Veritas is referring to:

    On August 15, 2012, a gunman attempting to enter Family Research Council’s Washington, D.C. headquarters shot a security guard, 46-year-old Leonardo Johnson, in the left arm.[56] While injured, Johnson assisted others who wrestled the gunman to the ground until police arrived and placed the gunman under arrest.[57][58] Johnson was taken to a hospital to treat his wound.[59]

    The gunman was interviewed by the FBI.[59] Law enforcement officials said that the suspect, 28-year-old Floyd Corkins II, a resident of nearby Herndon, Virginia, had served as a volunteer at a LGBT community center.[57][60] The FBI and the Metropolitan Police Department investigated jointly “to determine motive/intent and whether a hate crime/terrorism nexus exists.” During his FBI interview Corkins was asked how he chose his target. His response was “Southern Poverty Law, lists…uh…anti-gay groups. I found them online”

    Gay man shoots guard because SPLC calls FRC a hate group. Ru Paul who is “funny” advocates free speech. Can’t you see the convoluted connection? There isn’t one you say? Well, never mind. It’s an Emily Litella moment.

    Frank, I have to say, your theory is fascinating, and very entertaining! If that is in fact what “Veritas” meant to say, I am amazed. Standing alone, the comment looked merely incoherent. But now that you have made “sense” of it, I marvel over the complete and utter lack of logic.

    Maybe you can connect some more dots and explain how I am the one who approves of funny Stalinists at an organization I happen to loathe but never mentioned.

    Eric, the dots should be connected in due time. I have several books available by Lewis Carroll for reference.
