keto at The Colorblind Society caught my attention this morning, but not in a nice way:

And in a newer story, a drag queen has been dropped from hosting a drag queen show in Atlanta. Relevance? This act, called Shirley Q. Liquor is a new fusion: blackface and drag. The performer, a white and gay man, plays a character which is "an uneducated southern black woman on welfare with 19 children".

I think this person is trying to get a job with the RNC.

She/he is even more likely to turn up as a commentator on Fox News.

A racist cross-dressing gay man?

You thought the Maytag repairman was a lonely guy.
