Episode 240: RuPaul et al.

Space Cadets, HZ here and I'm so sorry.... The best part of this episode really took place before we even got into the studio. How Ross loves to hear outdated songs strummed upon a a untuned ukulele! As they say, music soothes the savage breast. But not so much that we're not back to our usual doom 'n' gloom this week! After a brief RuPaul Recap, it's right into talking about whether drag is harmful to the trans* community. As cis people, we're reluctant to make any judgement but it did seem that maybe the article we're discussing was pointing out problems less with the art form of drag and more with some people's ignorance and mistaken conflating of drag and gender identity? And, if that talk wasn't thorny enough, we're back for part two where we're talking about members of the LGBTQIA+ community throwing in with the Alt Right! But the Ross's Trump impression was funny, right? Right?

Music today not from me, alas, but from The Cleaners From Venus with "Madeleine" off their new Kitchen Table EP!
