Ok, so this post was supposed to be about the large amounts of drag that I saw over the last week. It was preempted by an innocent, but poignant question.
"Are you attracted to Shaunna Rai?"
This is a grey area for me. Sort of. And, not an easy yes or no answer. Shaunna Rai lives in Dan, and vice versa, depending on who's being presented to the world at that moment.
Honestly, it's Dan that I'm attracted to. And, when Shaunna Rai is out, I look for Dan in her. I'll admit, there have been times when, yes, I've sat and watched a show, thinking, I wish that I could kiss her. And, I have kissed Shaunna Rai, after shows, before Dan came back out. But, that is the extent of it. I have no desire to be intimate with her sexually. And, she and I have discussed this before. And the feeling is mutual. Shaunna Rai would rather not be intimate with me either. So, it works out good, because I'm a gold star gay, and I have no desire to change that.
What I feel more, toward Shaunna Rai, and drag queens in general, is admiration. The ability to put together an outfit, do the hair and makeup, and to walk around in heels (without falling or wobbling), and in some cases dance or do acrobatic tricks, while in those heels... They've earned admiration, at the very least.
That doesn't mean that I don't find queens attractive, while they're in drag.
It just means I don't want to sleep with them. I mean, the idea of waking up next to a wig is a little scary. And besides, makeup is hard to get out of fabrics...why else does every soap opera affair get revealed?
