I don't think that most of Red America is that shallow or obsessed with cross-dressing at a charity event.
I don't think you spend enough time listening to social conservatives, apparently.
I live in the heart of Red America -- in fact every one of our counties is red from 2004! Here in OK and in TX, a lot of schools have members of the football team dress like woman, dance, and everything to compete for a title in order to raise money for charity. A big hairy lineman won Miss BHS the year my daughter was a senior! :)
