    What difference does it make? Do his words have more impact if he wears mens clothing or something? :confused:

    None of you seen to get it. Panti is promoting panti.

    Spew what. If the character panti was created as the new gay character in say fair city people here would decry it as a homophobic stereotype

    Well that's just a stupid thing to say.

    Which makes nothing that Panti has said irrelevant.

    I guess that's why he showed up in drag in channel 4 news in drag as well. You'd think he would have made an effort when he was making such an important speech.

    It's what he said not what he wore that mattered to me.

    You could be sitting at your keyboard wearing the most "sensible" clothes ever and your words are not inspiring me.
    Whereas yes panti was wearing her workwear but her words were incredibly inspiring.

    Why not play the YouTube clip again but don't look at the screen.

    Just as long as you ignore everything Rory has said since all this mess started on the Saturday night show.

    Already seen it. Have read all the lionising of it in the Irish times. Hard to take a hysterical drag queen seriously. Also the part whets panti talks about parenting is a hoot.

    If you've seen the Noble Call video, I'm not sure how you could say Rory/Panti was hysterical?

    Panti raising a kid in drag is the stuff of a poorly written American sitcom.

    You've used that word "hysterical" a few times now, honestly I can't see anything hysterical about Rory at all, in fact he's been quite restrained under the circumstances. If anyone has been hysterical its Quinn and co.

    because drag queens dress like that ALL the time...seriously I think you're confusing drag with Mrs Browns Boys or something

    Why not? What does drag performance have to do with one's parenting ability?

    You seem to keep trying to appeal to a prejudice that just isn't there in other people, you keep referring to the fact Panti is a drag queen as if this was in any way objectionable. Your entire argument thus far has been "Rory's a drag queen folks! A god damn freaky DRAAAG QUEEN!!! Are you not outraged? Why are you not outraged? Guys...? A hysterical drag queen, are you with me? A drag queen guys, come on! ....guys!?"

    Indeed. We should be more concerned about magicians. Feckers are liable to saw their child in half! :eek::pac:

    I think Ne0ica thinks drag queens are really transgender and just won't admit it or something. Drag is what you do not who you are. Its a performance art, its not really all that different to the actors who dress up as women in panto. They all leave the theatre, bar, whatever in men's clothing. I can't see any reason why a drag artist shouldn't raise a child.

    Because a child needs love and stability. Imagine panti outside the school gate dropping off kids.

    You're talking to someone who went to school in full batman costume, so I don't see an issue with the scenario you presented :P

    I still don't see how a drag artists can't give a child love and stability. As mentioned before btw, they don't spend every day in character.

    I have alot of empathy for people with gender identity issues. I have no sympathy for men in drag who perform for the amusement of middle class bores

    Rory O'Neil is quite masculine off the stage, camp, but very masculine.

    Panti is a fictional character. Drag is about taking the piss out of stereotypes on a stage or in an act.

    Taking the Piss out of women. Surprised feminism hasn't something to say about this.

    That's on a par with wondering if Harrison Ford goes to the dentist in full Han Solo attire :P

    Most drag I've seen actually celebrates the female form in a very flattering way. I'm a woman and I've never seen an act that has offended me. Some do get their laughs at the expense of a certain type of woman but then male comics do that all the time too. Not all drag is done for laughs.

    Don't be absurd. He goes with a brown fedora and bullwhip.
