And yet stripping is absolutely nothing like performing drag. No correlation whatsoever. But somehow no comment on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somehow no comment on that. I am really not understanding your issue. You raised strippers not being accepted at the guild and how that would be sexist. Both Passing Time and I pointed out that strippers are not confined to one gender. What's the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also incredibly politically subversive. It’s no more performance art than Roy “ Chubby Brown”, who is also incredibly politically subversive. They are both equally unfunny I have no time for either but each to their own I suppose.

It’s dumbing down, for the sake of political correctness. Was this event non-inclusive, with members of the POC, and LGBTQ+ community being discriminating against? The competition was well established having taken place for many many years. As they say, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example they've introduced a new class for community choirs this year as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Then this advert shows up for me at the bottom of the page. 😂 ETA: I wonder what Mad Uncle Ronnie would have made of it all.

Gladys Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 This new class of competition will either be a roaring success, trailblazing and possibly setting itself as 'the' event for competitive drag artists further afield, or not. The interesting thing is if there will be enough entrants to make it a real competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
