A recent interview between drag performer RuPaul and reporters from SiriusXM, OutQ, and HuffPost Gay Voices underlines the reason why one simply does not ask a drag performer about, well, transsexual issues.
The drag performer born RuPaul Andre Charles is kicking off a new season of his show “RuPaul’s Drag Race”, but addressed the recent cancellation of the ABC sitcom Work It. The show featured two men who dressed as women, and was resoundly attacked by transsexual and transgender activists. RuPaul stated “Don’t take life so seriously… We live in a culture where everyone is offended by everything.”
Yesterday the Washington Post reported that, when he attended prep school, Mitt Romney mocked and assaulted students suspected of being gay. Call me a cynic, but I expect more from America’s future sociopaths.

Tom Gabel of Against Me! Comes Out as Transgender
Singer reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone
Against Me! singer Tom Gabel reveals plans to begin living as a woman in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments.
Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather. “For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news,” says Gabel. “But she’s been super-amazing and understanding.”
Gabel only told a handful of family and friends about her plan to transition before talking to Rolling Stone. Because this is the first time a major rock star has come out as transgender, the singer made a point of speaking openly about it. “I’m going to have embarrassing moments,” says Gabel, “and that won’t be fun. But that’s part of what talking to you is about – is hoping people will understand, and hoping they’ll be fairly kind.”
The full story of Gabel’s transformation is in the latest issue, on newsstands this Friday (May 11th). In it, the singer tells Josh Eells about her history of gender dysphoria, the specifics of the transition process and what becoming Laura Jane Grace will mean for the future of Against Me!
I think it’s great that Gabel is going to become more comfortable through transitioning in order to be who she wants to be.
