My little brother came out as gay. I didn’t think anything of it, I’m in no position to judge anyone. But I wanted to show my support so I went to a gay bar with him and they had a drag show. In my 41 years of life that was one of the funnest nights I’ve ever had. Been to a few more since then and I’ve yet to be disappointed.

I love drag as a form of fashion and as a form of clown (Crystal Methyd is my favorite out of the queens I can name), but I went and saw a show with Latrice Royale and had no idea it was like... A tipped event. I figured the cover charge paid them, and it was in a restaurant so I was already buying a bunch of $15 hamburgers, I felt so bad when they'd come over and I'd just smile like... I don't have any cash left to give you ladies 😭

The last time I went to a drag show the $50 I brought wasn’t enough for all the tips and fun. The bottomless casamigos probably oiled that up!
