The fact is that drag queens should not be getting any kind of a pass for cross-dressing outside of adults-only clubs and shows. It is just as offensive to real women as blackface is to blacks. The promotion of that Ru Paul Drag Race show on television is disgusting. Although it is not on legacy broadcast channels, it is paid-advertised frequently on those channels.
This thread reminds me of people calling Trump racist, citing as proof that the KKK leader endorsed him. Even though it was done deliberately to cause controversy.
I wasn’t in any way giving drag queens “a pass.” I was simply point the absurdity of Dolly Parton positioning herself as an “ally” to the “LGBT community,” a segment of which has perversely modeled itself specifically on her.
