RuPaul calls out the anti-drag bills in red statesTwelve-time Emmy Award winner RuPaul called out the sudden rash of anti-drag bills being introduced in numerous red state legislatures and warned: “Drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement.”
“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique, distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, healthcare, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school.
“But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues. They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective. They think our love, our light, our laughter and our joy are signs of weakness.
“But they’re wrong because that is our strength. Drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement. Don’t get it twisted and don’t be distracted. Register to vote so we can get these stunt queens out of office and put some smart people with real solutions into government.
“And by the way, a social media post has never been as powerful as a registered vote.”
