Weekly Open Discussion Post

Since off season has begun, I was watching the earlier seasons, and I at the end of season 2 right now. This is probably an unpopular opinion, and I fucking love her to death, but I don think Jujubee should have been top 3. That my opinion. I think official canada goose outlet she kept sliding https://www.getcanadagooseoutlet.com by on her lip syncs (which were phenomenonal, I will give her that). I think she should have gone home mid season, maybe around 6th? Like a lot of people, I was confused by Pandora elimination. But again, maybe another unpopular canada goose outlet in usa opinion, but I honestly thought Jessica should have been in the top 3 with Raven and Tyra. Jessica had done so well in the competition, had never been in the bottom three until the episode of her elimination. I wouldn have been upset if Pandora made top 3 but I feel like had it been between Jessica and Pandora, Jessica would have made it. Again, my opinion. I’ve watched RuPaul’s Drag Race since the canada goose jacket uk first season and no one has made more of an impact in my life than Sasha Velour. She was different. She was different because she didn’t make me want to be like her. She made me feel like canada goose outlet los angeles being myself was good canada goose outlet montreal enough. I think that is the best part of her being crowned. It justifies that being different from everyone else is not a thing to be made fun of or gawked at. These differences is what makes each of us unique and special. We should canada goose outlet london embrace ourselves for these ‘flaws’ canada goose outlet trillium parka black and turn them into what makes us beautiful because we are. We are beautiful goose outlet canada for being so unique. this is a throwaway cuz idk I don want to be judged lolI got into RPDR several months ago. I started with season 5 and was immediately hooked now I seen all the seasons and watched 9 live. I really enjoy the show for the artistry (I came from a theatre background so I esp love the acting and sewing challenges) and personalities of the queens. I also love this subreddit for commentary and discussion and have really enjoyed learning more about drag history and culture, etc.So recently one of my friends posted a rant about how annoying it canada goose outlet store uk is to see straight girls getting into RPDR/drag queens in general canada goose outlet in chicago “because it trendy”, becoming obsessed with gay culture when it not for them, how most people aren respectful of gay spaces and straight people need to gtfo. But reading my friend words just made me very aware that this isn my community, and canada goose outlet hong kong I really don want it to come off like I only am into RPDR/gay culture because “it trendy”. I gone to pride events in the past supporting gay friends now I kinda feel like I shouldn have been there and it wasn my place.I guess I just kind of wanted to ask what you guys think is there a way for me as a straight person to enjoy the show without feeling like I intruding on something, or in a way, “appropriating” drag culture? I feel like this post is full of straight person guilt and reads like a whiny dude crying “not all men” or something lol but I just really don want it to come canada goose outlet eu off to others that canada goose outlet vip I some annoying straight girl who just trying to be trendy. Idk. this was a lot of rambling and probably doesn make sense but I would love to hear others opinions on it!I a canada goose outlet toronto location straight woman and a huge fan of the show and drag. The best we can do is support the queens (Ru girls plus local queens) through positive social media interactions and seeing their live shows if/when possible plus tipping at the shows. I keep it cute at shows and the club and canada goose outlet usa remember that I a guest in that space, so I don make it all about me. Sure I stand at the front of the stage but that because I short and I can see anything lol. You can feel your oats without stepping all over the queens and others who need the space at the club. My take on it, aside from my love and respect for LGBTQ people that I would canada goose uk feel for any other marginalised member of society, is that you can tell me I can love fabulous artistic hilarity. That what drag is, and I think that kind of attitude is encompassed in drag too. Don be sorry to love drag, gurl. Don be sorry to be a supporter. Any LGBTQ person who makes you feel bad about being an ally is just being a dick and their sexual preference doesn give them a free pass on being a bitch, so just remember that and love on! Hi there! I mostly straight. I often think I don belong in the drag community but then again I also don feel like I belong anywhere, so I don fret it too much. But I know why I appreciate drag so I shouldn have to justify myself. I know gay culture and history. I like defying gender (or others who do so). What you should canada goose outlet be weary of is being that basic straight girl the kind who thinks every gay guy should be your best friend or you start talking like LaganjaX100. Just be yourself, let others be themselves, appreciate the culture. A general “gay tip” is don assume all gay people are the same. I met some gay people who they themselves say they are bad gays because they don know/watch drag but it like everyone is different with different interests. I feel like I rambling too but that my thoughts on it lolI am also a straight girl, I been watching drag race since I canada goose premium outlet was a teenager while season 2 aired and I somewhat recently had the same concerns. I come to the conclusion that it is not inherently intrusive to enjoy something meant for lgbt people. I am the token straight in my friend group of lgbt people (This happened very coincidentally) and that means that I often participate in things lgbt related. I think the key thing is to realize I will never fully understand canada goose parka outlet what their life is like, but still intently listen to what they have to say, show up when my canada goose outlet winnipeg address help is needed, and celebrate their victories canada goose outlet vancouver with them. It a similar story when I watch drag race. I feel connected with the people on the show, I care about their story and I want them to succeed. I don just sit there and laugh at the crazy gay men in wigs, I take what they do seriously and have a respect for it (and have a great time watching them perform).It also important to realize that it won ever be about you. I think a lot of people have a distaste for straight people watching the show because they tend to become “armchair experts” just based on what they watch in the show and try to dictate what is and isn right to do with drag when in reality they know very little about what it actually like. It feels like they invading on a culture that isn their own. In general, I love to have a wlw makeover challenge(as a lesbian) because i feel like there isn enough solidarity(or shown solidarity in the media) between the different groups within the LGBT community. Buttttttt. I been thinking about it recently. Most queens seem to be for it when they are asked.My issue is that one of the things I think that makes this show so wonderful is that all the contestants have this shared background of being gay. Drag is traditionally a gay art form canada goose clothing uk and I love that the show celebrates being gay. Bioqueens aren necessarily gay which means they don have that shared background. Not to say straight people shouldn be included, but it would need to be handled delicately. Does that make sense?I that girl that loves canada goose outlet store new york anything serial killer/true crime canada goose jacket outlet uk related, so found podcasts like Serial, My Favourite Murder and S Town so far have been pretty good. I keep meaning to download Ru podcast canada goose discount uk and see if I can get on with that while jogging too, canada goose outlet seattle but yeah, I definitely recommend giving it a go! Or maybe an audiobook.
