The Beauty of Being Too Much
Right now the Repugs (and conservative bigots and xtianists) are aiming for both interracial and gay marriage. Latrice’s marriage covers both of those slots. The House is voting to protect both, so it would be unfair to have anybody say that the Dems do squat, btw. They are doing something, even with the Repugs breathing down their necks and cockblocking them at every turn. Anyway, when Latrice talks about being 'too much', I feel her. This is Post-Trump America, after all, and being Black, Queer, a Drag Artist, fat, and being in an interracial relationship sounds like a quite impressive hot button list to me. It's like walking around with a target on your back in 2022 America, home of the 'free'. Isn't that ironic, Alanis?
I do think that people who are in interracial relationships do show the finger to conservatives who think that America is 'white', though. The fact that the Religulous Wrong want to make a white supremacist theocracy of the United States never ceases to amaze me and people like Tim and Chris gives me hope. They give me hope because they are brave and lead the charge against bigotry and racism, the two forces that drive the MAGA movement. Add to that the internalized homophobia, colorism, fatphobia and femme phobia that the gay community struggles with and voilá! you have more than one thing to worry about.
Watching people peel the layers of their lives is always such a powerful experience. It does take nerve. Go ahead, watch the video. You'll see how your assumptions all go to hell. Because you DO have assumptions, honey.We all do. Happy viewing!
XOXO
People should just be free to live their lives!
ReplyDeleteOh, honey.
DeleteIf they could only. I guess it's second nature to be stupid twerps for the 'conservative' crowd.
XOXO
No matter how much they'd love to, they won't touch interracial marriage because of Clarence and Ginni. It was the only thing not mentioned in Alito's opinion.
ReplyDeleteOh, Alito is full of shit.
DeleteThey're coming for individual liberties. What is more individual than one's body? Abortion, contraception, interracial marriage and gay marriage all have the same basis.
And since when do you trust whatever a conservative, religious-right leaning, Repuglyclown appointed judge says?
XOXO
It is a damn shame that is happening in 2022 but nothing should be that surprising when it comes to the MAGA folks. It is so depressing and disheartening that they think this is what and how America should be.
ReplyDeleteI know right?
DeleteIt's the XXI century, for fuck's sake! Conservatives still long for the 1950s. It's their favorite era, when the colored, the queers and the little women knew their place.
Their vision of America is a dystopian landscape where religion rules and the Handmaiden's Tale is real. I fear for your women in this country.
XOXO
Don't come for Latrice, honey.
ReplyDeleteOh, they better DON'T.
DeleteLove her.
XOXO
Good for her. Give GQP a Royal fuck you. Extremist after extremist are winning their primaries. Hopefully come November the general electorate kicks them in the ass and sends them packing.
ReplyDeleteXOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏾
I know right?
DeleteI see all those MAGAts winning their primaries and I cannot help but think that it's not Repugs anymore, it's Trumplicans. The party has done a complete transformation and pivoted to become the Orange Anus own party.
XOXO
Love Latrice. And, yes, honey... these days are nothing but a trial... dancing on my last nerve. The 70% of this country that know better - better get their privileged azzes to the polls... 'cuz this is freedom, dear... and it is NOT free, and cannot be taken for granted. I, for one, will have my head in the oven if things do not change soon. And I have an electric stove, so you know that shit is not gonna end well. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteSame.
DeleteAnd that 70% better DO something. Like voting and being vocal about the fuckery that the Repugs have made an everyday occurrence. I will stand in my little soapbox and scream until I'm hoarse.
Fuck the GOP.
XOO
I have always loved Latrice and while she has been very vocal about the editing of Drag Race, that what I love she calls them as she sees it. Not only also does she have those targets on her but also she has to feel the need to prove herself with her pass, which should be mute. It's not like she went out and murdered someone. She should be celebrated for turning her life into something great.
ReplyDeleteMost of the republicans are just miserable bastards and just don't want anyone to be happy. But thanks heavens Biden's last bill passed. I was getting beyond frustrated and stabby with us Dems. We have to protect what's left or were screwed and will never get back. I still wish we had many more like AOC.
Same.
DeleteLove her. Her whole story is really touching and very interesting. She did turn her life around. Talk about a success story.
Most of the Repugs ARE miserable bastards, that's true. I can't with them and their bitter, entitled ways. And the Dems are getting shit done. It's an uphill battle with the Rethugs blocking every single step, but some things are indeed getting done.
XOXO
What an amazing and beautiful couple. The world needs to listen. Maybe they will learn a little about what love and commitment to one another actually means.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteI thought they were honest, and caring and really into each other. Very mature. And you are right: the world needs to listen!
XOXO
