Assumed names
This week, Facebook reversed its policy and allowed people to use "drag names".
There had been a big fuss over this.
Ellen De Generis explains.
Well, a Facebook VP explains.
Drag names are a funny thing even to gay men and if you want to snicker, please do so, because that is the whole point.
A drag queen is for fun in the first place and while there is no one who takes themselves more seriously, it is all about fun and if you are laughing the drag queen is very happy. It is not bigotry. This is one area where gay and straight people can come together. And Queens will absolutely love it.
Of course, Ellen can get away with this. Any het would be kicked in the ass for the same thing.
