Scotland Pride BANS drag queens for being offensive
Quote:
Organizers of Free Pride Glasgow just announced that drag queens are officially banned from performing at their event next month because they “offensive,” not “appropriate,” and may make some trans people feel “uncomfortable.”
This isn't the main Pride celebration, it's an alternative one for people who are tired of the politics associated with the main one. If they want to see drag acts they can go to the other celebration. I agree their reasoning for banning them is a bit silly but they're well within their rights
Good. A step towards the right direction. People tend to think acceptance of drag = acceptance of gays & transexuals but that is far from true. It is very offensive and makes gays & transexual people seem like a joke.

Drag isn't about gender identity. It's clowning and performing. Something that Britain is familiar with thanks to growing up with panto dames, Lily Savage, Dame Edna and Peter Kay doing it. Strange that anywhere here would go all PC.
Only some queens are into contro comedy, anyway. Not everyone is Bianca. Most just pose and lipsync.
