OT, but has some relation to Adam ...
I recently found this interview with RuPaul on YouTube (see link below). It was conducted in 2009. RuPaul and the interviewer not only discuss his personal and professional background, but also his reflections on society's attitudes toward drag, femininity and gay culture. I thought parts of it were fascinating and had some parallels with some of the challenges that Adam has faced.
Some highlights:
- At around 16:00, RuPaul discusses the attitudes of society toward drag. He says that drag isn't as accepted as it was in the seventies, even in the gay community. He says that gay people are "obsessed with everything that is straight-acting" right now.
- At about 17:00, he talks about society's problems with femininity, for both women and gay men: "using femininity as a palette in a patriarchal society is akin to an act of treason". He points out that our culture is afraid of both women and gay men using femininity, which he defines as feminine "goddess energy" ("people are afraid of femininity; people are afraid of a smart woman"). He is asked whether he has experienced the most prejudice from being gay, black or a drag queen; his answer: being gay.
Of course, the gay community is now embracing Adam much more (the GLAAD award, as one example), and U.S. society as a whole has become increasingly more accepting of the LGBT community since this interview was conducted. But I think this interview gives some perspective on the initial reaction to Adam when he came on the national scene four years ago, and some of the negative comments that he has faced in regards to his style, particularly his use of make-up and embrace of androgyny.

I hate his hair. The only reason he cut it like that is because I am going to see him in 11 days. Just my luck. Maybe I will get over this obsession finally. I know I probably won't ever see him again. Just happened to get lucky when Miami came along. I bought the gay pride hat my husband found for me in K-Mart. You gals are going to love it. I am not sure about the colors though. Are gay pride colors written in sanskrit or can varying shades of colors be okay. I also bought a camp chair to sit in. I absolutely love it. It folds up and slips into a cover which I can carry over my shoulder. K-mart is having a sale on camp chairs if anyone is interested. They go from $9.99 to $50.00. Mine cost $16 because I have a fat ass that needs stability. I also have glow thingies which I will take. They are yellow and we can either whip each other with them or wave them in Adam's face. I am getting so excited for this trip. I just wish my arthritis would calm down. I don't know how to change my profile to get on Adamtopia. I have no picture of myself I can use. I can only use flowers. WOW - I didn't realize Miami was only 11 days away......heck, Irish, by then he'll have changed his hair 2 or 3 more times! |

I like Tommy very much, and I like Pauley too; I follow her and watch NCIS (one of my favourite fandoms) and I'm always so glad when my different worlds cross like that  And it's so good to hear nice words about our boys (any of them) from other people  |
