THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT (1994)
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?
I’m gonna scream is2g
I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.
This is Mark Kanemura, he’s worked closely with Gaga and been a finalist on So You Think You Can Dance twice. He didn’t “get to do this”, she hired him and he’s been in her music videos. He’s not just some nameless funny queer on the internet, say his damn name lol
It's about damn time these fuckers learned that they don't get just parade around in their faux gestapo getups without someone showing them what's what.
It's amazing how quickly these wannabe tough guy fascists turn into sniveling snowflakes as soon as they are met with even a little resistance.
"I thought I could come in and harass queers and threaten to kill them in peace!"
You really thought people were going to just let you come in and spout your hateful nonsense without any backlash? The audacity! That's a lifetime of unchecked privilege at play. I'm sometimes afraid to even leave my house while existing as a trans woman, and you thought you could just gamet away with this?
Talk shit, get hit.
An Entertaining Introduction to Drag
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the relationship between trans and drag.
Some say that drag artists are not trans, they are “only” performers.
Others argues strongly that drag is a clear expression of gender variance, and since transgender is an umbrella term for all kinds of gender variance, all drag artists must be trans.
To me this disagreement is proof of our language being to poor and restrictive to capture the totality of gender.
Yes, many drag artists identify as their assigned gender, and that is fine.
Yes, many drag artists want to express another side of their gender identity and think of themselves as some shade of nonbinary.
And yes, many drag artists are identifying or will identify as their target gender and might even transition. That is also OK.
So drag is not an identity in the same way as cis or trans. It is a way of expressing and exploring gender through performance.
While drag can sometimes reflect gender identity for some, drag itself is a performance of gender expression, not gender identity. Drag can often be weaponized against trans people, intending to invalidating their identities. Trans men are not “women in drag,” trans women are not “men in drag.“ Trans men are men, trans women are women, and nonbinary people are nonbinary.
we have to fight against them together or die there's no choice at this point.
if you're a cis lgb and think you're safe you're not. they're coming for all of us.
and just so you all know:
they don't mean, like. future gender-affirming care.
they mean that all minors in the state of tennessee receiving gender-affirming care now have a deadline on their detransition.
Also, the "drag ban" is worse than it sounds. It's vague.
The law redefines the illegal-in-public "adult cabaret performance" to include "male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest (...) regardless of whether or not performed for consideration." "Public" is defined as anywhere one "could be viewed by a person who is not an adult."
Who's to say what counts as "prurient," especially if that explicitly doesn't have to be your intention? If a trans girl joins a karaoke club at her college and a cop arrests her for it, can she prove she didn't violate this law? It can be used to imprison any trans person being too visible.
To be clear, this is absolutely intentional in its vagueness. The above is absolutely not a bug, it's an intentional benefit in their mind. They can use and abuse this law to criminalize being trans in public, and that is part of the point.
If cis LGBs are not awake and aware to the fact that this is all just pushing the Overton Window, they need to be. Iowa Republicans filed a bill to make marriage equality illegal if and when Obergefell is struck down.
Is it going to go anywhere right now? No, no it will not. But a few years ago, bills like the above didn't go anywhere, either.
Wake the fuck up. They are coming for all of us, and I'm getting tired of saying it.
If I was a drag king my name would be “masc mandate”
I don’t know what Daniel Radcliffe is doing these days and this clip doesn’t help but here’s my thoughts on the matter:
Daniel Radcliffe out there living his best acting life and I'm all for it.
