I love her analysis of their relationship. I think for Alaska and Sharon it was extremely painful. But Michelle was an outsider to that relationship so she's able to analyze their relationship in an honest yet compassionate way. I'm here for it ♥️
I love that she did, cause honestly I did that with my ex, I was definitely the Alaska in the relationship and her saying that Alaska worried more about the partner being taken care of and forgot herself , I was like PREEEEACHHH MICHELLE !!! I swear rupaul’s drag race helped me get through so much, I love how open Michelle is lol sorry you didn’t ask for my whole ass rant but 😂😂
Faith Pon that’s where the RuPaul talk show reboot failed in my opinion. Michelle should’ve been featured more. I love the podcast because Ru and Michelle have equal opportunities to ask questions and then the way they feed off of each other is perfect. Don’t get me wrong now, they are both superstars and have both proven that they are capable of being successful in show business without the other but in the talk show/podcast setting they make the perfect team. The podcast doesn’t have the same magic when Michelle isn’t there with Ru.
Everybody should watch this "look at huh", the knowledge, the love, the wisdom, the pride, michelle visage is not rated enough for everything she does for us, I just absolutely love her. The greates most gorgeous ally this community has, thank you.
Honestly every time Michelle Visage opens her mouth I fall in love with her with every word she says. You can tell she is 100% genuine and she truly is such a beautiful person. I love everything that she does and has to say about our community. She has so much love and wisdom. If you haven't done it it yet listen to Rupaul's what's the tee with Michelle Visage and you get to hear a different side from her. A side that makes you feel loved and cared for I am so happy to have an ally like her. Love you!
Oh, no girl. She is a saleswoman who defends a brand, you need someone serious who actually cares abut you. Plus, the way she articulates her ideas is very similar to Trump.
Tydin she does, she’s the one who goes on tour with them and mentors them.on the show the girls are instructed to not even look at ru when they’re not filming.
@@DawnDiggetyNoDoubt alot of past girls have said in interveiws. and it makes sense he picks the winner and who goes home he cant have offset time with anyone it would be unfair.
@@DawnDiggetyNoDoubt the whole pearl thing happened because pearl on like the first day of filming or whenever she first met rupaul she wanted to tell ru how grateful she was and how she admired her and ru only said "everything you say to me when those cameras are off doesn't matter" or something like that, so pearl was OVER it
You can tell Michelle is a Mother. She has such wisdom and such a fierce love for the Queens that just makes her a pleasure to watch and listen to. I think it’s great the way she addressed the Carmen Carrera situation as well.
Holy fucking shit Michelle DID drop some fucking knowledge, the thing about gays hating on other gays like holy shit that is true, I've always spoke about that
Too bad Michelle didn't follow her own advice. If she had listened to her own speech she would know that RuPaul's Drag Race was wrong to use trans slurs as comedy. THAT was the real problem and THAT was hating on the community. Carmen might have been too hard for coming for Ru in public platforms, but I'm sure that if Ru and everyone else took her complaint to heart and just admitted they were wrong, all of this would have been WAY more positive for the whole community, even as an example of self-improvement.
th2k what the fuck this comment is actually terrible you can be trans and bi or trans and gay or whatever and they are ABSOLUTELY a part of our community my god
Thank you, Michelle. I am so glad that she said what she said about her being in the gay community even though she is straight. She is an ally, and has been for years and through being a verbose and strong advocate as a straight woman for gay rights, she has helped and shape the change that we all have today. There are straight men and women who fight daily for the gay community to have their rights and freedoms just like everyone else. I am glad she is shedding some light on that.
Like with Madonna, it makes me sad when I'm talking with people in our community and they don't know David Bowie. He was such a huge icon for music and LGBT rights, especially for men.
I literally just walked through my livingroom, and heard heard a small snippet of ?"Heros" playing in a Hockey game on t.v. immedietly read this...no coincidence. Bowie lives, he's life.
It was a gimmick for Bowie. As much as I appreciate him as an artist. I can't commend him on adopting LGBT tropes as a coat and then taking it off. He didn't advocate for more respect and visibility for the community; he packaged and marketed it. nothing wrong with that but do something in return. Madonna did.
I think many people, including me, don't really like Michelle in the beginning when they starat watching drag race. I felt she was bitchy and mean, and just hated everybody and everyone. It took me a long while, but now that i've watched more than half the seasons, I learned to appreciate her so much more. I thjnk she's a great and very very intelligent person. She comes off as harsh because ... well I mean she IS a harsh person, but once you get to know her you know it's nothing mean and she wishes the best for everyone. She's so cool.
her reputation kinda reminds me of simon cowell, shes the mean judge that everyone reads, but like they want to see growth. and theyre really nice outside of the competition
Michelle JUST told y'all not to hate on each other but here everyone is, 4.3 seconds later ripping Carmen apart in the comments. You can't just say "I agree," you have to be negative? You have to talk trash on her, who she is now and what she did on the show? For shame. You all will never learn.
they cut the part of michelle talking about her relationship with detox, is so ovbius, this show needs more deep talks, it doesnt have to be everything so fast and superficial to be entertained
YAAAS. I was waiting for more and then it shut down.. i tought i was gonna cry when she started talking about Detox and that could be such a huge moment
After watching Michelle's Hey Qween interviews I respect her even more than I already did. She's an amazing woman and such a mother hen! Michelle is everything I want to be when I'm older!" I love you mama ❤️
I think Carmen was right, using derogatory terms towards the trans community is wrong. Ru is a bit old-school, and feels the way she feels. Carmen, on her part, should have been more respectful. It was a teachable moment- Carmen should have treated as such instead of reading her. I think Michelle hit the nail on the head, infighting won't help anyone.
I think Carmen went about it the wrong way. I'm trans and as far as I'm concerned, RuPaul has done a great job listening to us when we ask him to change the language used on the show or to reconsider his stance on inviting trans women to the show. Like especially with a community that overlaps so much with us trans people, I think there's a diplomatic way to voice our concerns without attacking open minded allies for not realising certain things can be hurtful for us
Instead of digging his heels in over calls for him to change things, Ru has always taken a moment to step back and hear us and has shown he can put his money where his mouth is (getting rid of "you've got she-mail & inviting a post transition Gia Gunn back are 2 examples off the top of my head of Ru actually changing things for us). Compare that with mainstream society and I think Ru's efforts are worth appreciating even if there is a little room for improvement, it's still admirable more so if you consider his age.
I'm only on season 4 of rpdr and I still don't know how I feel about her as a person but watching this made me realize I like her a lot, she's very opinionated but she's also very wise and caring and extremely loving
I already loved Michelle, and this interview made me love her even more. Completely agree with her thoughts about community infighting and her love of Madonna. I wish more of my peers loved Madonna as much as I do.
Absolutely LOVE michelle! Everyone confuses her critiques for bitchiness but at the end of the day.. what shes saying to these queens is to ultimately help them be more succesfull. I really appreciate what Michelle has done
I thought the same thing, but then i realized the decision is not ultimately up to Michelle. Also, I couldn't tell that Michelle is as close with Detox as she is. I only realized it when I watched this
Gay people hating on each other. Especially on body types, on look, on whatever that want to say. It hurts everyday being a gay guy that looks "normal" that means I look shit. People look down and hate me for no damn reason. Seriously this shit has to stop
I agree with basically everything Michelle said, except that Mariah is also a one of a kind artist, her singing ability, and songwriting skills are LEGENDARY, I do agree that Madonna is such an Icon, but so is Mariah in her thing ;)
Preach, Momma! I love what she said about Madonna. I'm Michelle's age, and Madonna was an 80s PHENOMENON! Different, bold, controversial, ballsey, FIERCE!!! The children sorely need to learn their herstory, and the legacy that Madonna has created in our community. Long before the AS2 queens, Madonna sang for HER legacy!
"They can't even get their shit together within their community. How are we gonna give them positions of power when they look like fools?" Damn, Michelle. On point.
michelle is dead ass wrong about carmen. ru needed (and still needs) to be called out on his transphobic bs. yes rupaul has done a lot of “the community”, but that doesn’t exempt him from problematic behavior. also carmen never “came for” rupaul, she simply pointed out a harmful aspect of his show.
I know it's been two years but I'm so happy to read this. She is breaking a very important rule: "you don't get to judge whether or not something was offensive to a community you're not a part of." Shes simply silencing the voice of trans woman representing for the LARGELY offended community. And also... Saying you can't critique someone cuz they... Did... Something for you???? Alright then. So thank you.
Thank you! I absolutely love michelle, she will now and always be my favourite star, but people need to learn. Rupaul cannot be given this big of a platform to shape young kids minds and use it for a transphobic platform. Its absolutely disgusting. Growing up trans and gay I *hated* watching rupaul because it didnt represent me. And when the controversy about Gia and Peppermint came out (Ru calling Peppermint not a real woman) all the cis gays were surprised but everyone in the trans community already knew she thought that shit. I was kinda heartbroken when michelle said that.
Thank you Michelle for paying props to the only and only Madonna. Our culture, our fight wouldn't be if it wasn't for her. You both are top Queens in my book.
Some would say that Madonna actually exploited the gays. Many people accuse GaGa of this but GaGa has been more genuine in her alignment with the community. Madonna had a temporary gay "family" when she filmed Truth or Dare. Those family members were her closest inner circle and back up dancers. There was a documentary made where every single one of them denounces Madge and claim she threw them away the minute the tour ended. There was other drama as well of course. Its hard to say sometimes who is actually an ally and who wants to further their career. JS.
I fucking adore Michelle. She has this motherly vibe that makes me want to be taken in by her lmao idk how to describe it without it sounding dumb 😂 buuut she’s just stunning in so many ways. Love her
I love Michelle and I think she’s a really great lgbt ally but she had no right to say that a trans woman should’ve kept her mouth shut on trans woman’s issues. Rupaul has done a lot for the lgbt community but that doesn’t mean he’s some sort of god that can’t do bad things or shouldn’t be called out for doing bad things.
Michelle is beautiful inside and out....very smart, a real Pro, and every Drag Queen should listen to her real good! And she did a lot for the gay Community! Bravo Michelle you are very special, love you!!!!!!
People, especially many in the younger generation forget the power and impact that Madonna made. As someone who has seen the rise and primes of both artists, Madonna has made the most impact regarding LGBT rights, her fashion, her music, women’s liberation, and so forth. Michelle is correct. There wouldn’t be a Lady Gaga without Madonna. Don’t get it twisted. I love Lady Gaga. I actually respect her more as an artist, performer, and person. Lady Gaga’s music career fizzled out after Born This Way. Gaga had hits here and there since. Meanwhile, Madonna for over 20 years consecutively, has had multiple singles from each of her albums become top ten hits, played in constant rotation on radio stations and MTV. That’s the truth.
You know when Lady Red is not rolling around, stoned on that sofa, and is sitting up, in rapt attention that some real wisdom and t is being spilt on that couch.
I am so glad that she gave Madonna the props that Madonna deserves. There is no other and there never will be. It isn't possible because Madonna paved the way. Done. Now everyone else can walk that path and do it in their way. But ALWAYS remember who paved it and with tons of bs, hatred and obstacles along the way. And she is still paving the way and fighting ageism as everyone says she should retire. Why? If she is having fun and doing her thing, why should she retire and why should anyone care? Who is she hurting? She won't stop until she is dead and that is a life that is LIVED TO THE FULLEST. How many people can say that? Not many. Madonna is the Queen & I'm glad that Michelle Visage & I are on the same page. I would love to see my Queen with Michelle, because I have only had 1 friend that can keep up with me at one of her concerts. I had to start going alone to be in Row 1 and it paid off. Total acknowledgement two nights in a row at Rebel Heart Tour in Miami. I can die a Happy man.
Just so you know Michelle, I am 16 and I know who Madonna is, I love her, preach her and she is a true iconic queen to me. I did read about her and admire everything she has done for the LGBT community. I know that only few young gay people know as much as I do about her, but I just wanted to let you know that she is still an admiration and a person to look at for some young people. But, just like you, I think it is important to always remember her importance and to admire everything she’s done. Lots of love, thank you for being you, I also look up to you Michelle, xoxo.
why is it so terrible that Carmen disagrees with Ru about the use of a word? idk I can see it from both sides, why some would find it insulting and why some would think it's not that big a deal.
Carmen criticized the S6 “She-male or Female” mini-challenge, which was consequently removed from the version of the show you can get from iTunes & Amazon: www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2014/04/01/carmen-carrera-slams-idrag-racei-over-transphobic-slur? Around the same time Courtney Act criticized RuPaul’s response to trans issues, which RuPaul also perceived as an attack: m.facebook.com/CourtneyAct/posts/10152239577482909
Michelle spilled more T about Sharon and Alaska's relationship than either of them ever had haha.
I love her analysis of their relationship. I think for Alaska and Sharon it was extremely painful. But Michelle was an outsider to that relationship so she's able to analyze their relationship in an honest yet compassionate way. I'm here for it ♥️
yeah it was told somewhere that michelle talked to sharon privately to end their relationship as it was better for alaska.
I love that she did, cause honestly I did that with my ex, I was definitely the Alaska in the relationship and her saying that Alaska worried more about the partner being taken care of and forgot herself , I was like PREEEEACHHH MICHELLE !!! I swear rupaul’s drag race helped me get through so much, I love how open Michelle is lol sorry you didn’t ask for my whole ass rant but 😂😂
Girl Lol 😆
Michelle is the perfect example of a straight ally omfg as a community we are so lucky to have her
pandafrida I agree and she has done so much for our community
She's bisexual
Very smart and well spoken
The fact that she may be straight but she doesnt say you or they in relation to our community, instead she says our and my community.
"we" who?
Speak for yourself, please
Best guest ever on this show! Michelle needs her own show about truth, wisdom and show business.
Faith Ellen listen to the Rupaul and Michelle visage podcast
I agree totally, Faith! Yes!
Faith Pon that’s where the RuPaul talk show reboot failed in my opinion. Michelle should’ve been featured more. I love the podcast because Ru and Michelle have equal opportunities to ask questions and then the way they feed off of each other is perfect.

Denny Supandi Thanks qween😘🖕🏼
A sentence I never knew I’d agree

Oh, no girl. She is a saleswoman who defends a brand, you need someone serious who actually cares abut you. Plus, the way she articulates her ideas is very similar to Trump.
She seems like she cares soooo much more about the gurls on the show more than Ru does. Is that just me? Feels odd to say that.
Tydin she does, she’s the one who goes on tour with them and mentors them.on the show the girls are instructed to not even look at ru when they’re not filming.

materialkid it'a not your place to tell trans women that they over reacted about slurs that have been used against us
Soo who loves the line "I hate when people blame editing" :P
Yo Jasmine, what's good?
***** huh
I was gonna say Phi Phi
The inevitable heat death of the universe Darrien Lake
Nina is probably going to blame editing
Thank you, Michelle. I am so glad that she said what she said about her being in the gay community even though she is straight.

she's bisexual though and has been with women, but yes her work and words aere great.
I loved how she confidently corrected Johnny.
NO, DON'T BLAME THE EDIT.
NO, L. ESTRANGA CREATED HER OWN DEAL.
God damn Michelle is so smart and on point, I love her

michelle talking about alaska and her whole face lighting up with adoration and pride is so pure and wholesome🥺
Michelle JUST told y'all not to hate on each other but here everyone is, 4.3 seconds later ripping Carmen apart in the comments. You can't just say "I agree," you have to be negative? You have to talk trash on her, who she is now and what she did on the show? For shame. You all will never learn.
Preach sister!
get. it. mama.
💯
they cut the part of michelle talking about her relationship with detox, is so ovbius, this show needs more deep talks, it doesnt have to be everything so fast and superficial to be entertained
YAAAS. I was waiting for more and then it shut down.. i tought i was gonna cry when she started talking about Detox and that could be such a huge moment
I gotta say, it fills my heart up to see a strong female like Michelle, loving and supporting and loving another strong female like Madonna
After watching Michelle's Hey Qween interviews I respect her even more than I already did. She's an amazing woman and such a mother hen! Michelle is everything I want to be when I'm older!" I love you mama ❤️

Motivational Daily You were so pressed you responded to a two year old comment. Girl. Get help. Lol. Carmen lives rent free in your mind mamas.
Motivational Daily you weird bitch
Randoms wow... that hostility is really getting to you, isn’t it?
Your that type of drag race fan that everyone hates.

I want her to adopt me, honestly
I'm only on season 4 of rpdr and I still don't know how I feel about her as a person but watching this made me realize I like her a lot, she's very opinionated but she's also very wise and caring and extremely loving
Articulate. Intelligent. Insightful. Loving. Real. Educated. Street smart. Beautiful. Mother. Wife. BFF. Unpretentious. Genuine.... ICON.
I already loved Michelle, and this interview made me love her even more. Completely agree with her thoughts about community infighting and her love of Madonna. I wish more of my peers loved Madonna as much as I do.
Literally seeing this and seeing how she talks about Laganja makes me love her even more
we love a virgo queen. i was beginning to like her on the show and when i searched her birthday, we have the same birthday!!!
Michelle V is one of the best guests in the history of this show!! Just wow 👏👏👏
LET ME WRITE THAT DOWN!!! lol RIP Lady Red, all love to a hilarious queen that I miss on this show.
"i wish her all the way down the well" 😂😂💖💖
I can listen to Michelle all day. So real, so connectable and relatable.
Michelle rocking that butlins red coat blazer
holllie2899 omg she looks like a red coat lmao
Absolutely LOVE michelle! Everyone confuses her critiques for bitchiness but at the end of the day.. what shes saying to these queens is to ultimately help them be more succesfull. I really appreciate what Michelle has done
Michelle is my mom
mario lmao same
mario same
Where can I send the check to Michelle? This therapy was EVERYTHING!!!
why do i feel like i just stepped out of a super wholesome therapy session after this interview, can michelle visage adopt me
Should Michelle be judging AS2 if she so obviously has close relationships with some queens more than others IE detox?
The other judges don't have a say in who wins or loses - that's Ru's choice alone. Michelle etc. are just there to provide critique.
People listen though - Ru and the lip sync'ers this season
I thought the same thing, but then i realized the decision is not ultimately up to Michelle. Also, I couldn't tell that Michelle is as close with Detox as she is. I only realized it when I watched this
Well just look at how she destroyed Adore in AS2...and they toured together...
aRcTiCbLu3 destroyed is an exaggeration. She just knows how good Adore could be and expects more from her. Adore tends to sell herself short.
Michelle is completely honest and truthful of the community and is heartful iconic for the advocate for the gay community, I support her
When Michelle said bc she's annoying I almost cried 😂😂
Awww she got so emotional talking about Detox ❤
Lady Red "that's our budget" lmfao
Brilliant woman. Brilliant advice, and the MOST diplomatic LOOK AT HUH guest ever on the show, period 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wtf did Carmen say!?!?!?
Gay people hating on each other. Especially on body types, on look, on whatever that want to say. It hurts everyday being a gay guy that looks "normal" that means I look shit. People look down and hate me for no damn reason. Seriously this shit has to stop
You can tell she rlly cares for all queens 💙☕️
I love lady red just getting her LIFE to Michelle
MICHELLE IS A MOTHER! HAHAHAHAHA! HER WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE IS TRULY INSPIRING!
I love Michelle Visage so much! She is amazing 🤩 😻
I don't think Carmen was too unfair or disrespectful. I mean the picture was definitely unnecessary, but she made fair points.
wow, such a lovable person. exudes authenticity.
I agree with basically everything Michelle said, except that Mariah is also a one of a kind artist, her singing ability, and songwriting skills are LEGENDARY, I do agree that Madonna is such an Icon, but so is Mariah in her thing ;)
i love how genuine michelle visage is 💓💓
Michelle, you're up there with Madonna in my book Sweet Cheeks! Love you girl XXXXX
Preach, Momma! I love what she said about Madonna. I'm Michelle's age, and Madonna was an 80s PHENOMENON! Different, bold, controversial, ballsey, FIERCE!!! The children sorely need to learn their herstory, and the legacy that Madonna has created in our community. Long before the AS2 queens, Madonna sang for HER legacy!
Shes so warm and open and smart. Wow michelle
"They can't even get their shit together within their community. How are we gonna give them positions of power when they look like fools?" Damn, Michelle. On point.
Loved her. Really caring and motherly person. Well spent 15 minutes.
I love when Michelle spits the truth. Very mama style realness.
Oh my lord, Michelle is so genuine, and lovely and strong, I wish she had her own show, would be legendary.
Michelle was on NYC radio everyday for years from late 90s thru 00s and was fabulous.
I love Michelle! She's so awesome!
You tell it how it is Michelle!! I love it!!
Mad Respects for Mother Queen Michelle!
Thank you Cara!
Then Michelle went into CBB uk and had to deal with Perez Hilton. Laganja now looks like an angel.
michelle is dead ass wrong about carmen. ru needed (and still needs) to be called out on his transphobic bs. yes rupaul has done a lot of “the community”, but that doesn’t exempt him from problematic behavior. also carmen never “came for” rupaul, she simply pointed out a harmful aspect of his show.

Shes simply silencing the voice of trans woman representing for the LARGELY offended community.
And also... Saying you can't critique someone cuz they... Did... Something for you???? Alright then.
So thank you.
Thank you! I absolutely love michelle, she will now and always be my favourite star, but people need to learn. Rupaul cannot be given this big of a platform to shape young kids minds and use it for a transphobic platform. Its absolutely disgusting. Growing up trans and gay I *hated* watching rupaul because it didnt represent me. And when the controversy about Gia and Peppermint came out (Ru calling Peppermint not a real woman) all the cis gays were surprised but everyone in the trans community already knew she thought that shit.

Did anyone pick up on how Jonny predicted Drag Race UK with his Madonna impersonation
I love you lady Red!
Thank you Michelle for paying props to the only and only Madonna. Our culture, our fight wouldn't be if it wasn't for her. You both are top Queens in my book.
yaas @ 3:34!
MADONNA IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I WORSHIP HER, and I love Michelle for her love for Madonna!
Michelle Visage reminds me so much of Bethenny Frankel... It’s those New York attitudes. I think they’d be great friends
I love Michelle. That's all I am gonna say. Give her a contract now. She deserves a fucking daytime show.
Some would say that Madonna actually exploited the gays. Many people accuse GaGa of this but GaGa has been more genuine in her alignment with the community. Madonna had a temporary gay "family" when she filmed Truth or Dare. Those family members were her closest inner circle and back up dancers.

Savannah Marie why TF would people hate her?.. she's the real deal
my love for Michelle has just 💗💗💗
What did Carmen say? Please does anyone know?
I fucking adore Michelle. She has this motherly vibe that makes me want to be taken in by her lmao idk how to describe it without it sounding dumb 😂 buuut she’s just stunning in so many ways. Love her
Michelle needs to come back and do this again, it’s been toooo long 🙌👑
Michelle spilled the mutha fuckin' T! Love her
what did carmen say?
i would watch the michelle visage show foreverrrrrr
Thank you for sticking up for Madonna-
I love Michelle and I think she’s a really great lgbt ally but she had no right to say that a trans woman should’ve kept her mouth shut on trans woman’s issues. Rupaul has done a lot for the lgbt community but that doesn’t mean he’s some sort of god that can’t do bad things or shouldn’t be called out for doing bad things.
Michelle is beautiful inside and out....very smart, a real Pro, and every Drag Queen should listen to her real good! And she did a lot for the gay Community! Bravo Michelle you are very special, love you!!!!!!
how long ago was this filmed
Can someone tell what she was talking about with Carmen? I never actually read about it
Carmen called out Ru about using transphobic slurs (tr*nny, shemale, etc) on the show and in her music.
Can someone explain what talent or qualifications Michelle Visage has? Besides being ru’s friend and track 9 of the bodyguard ??pls
I LOVE THIS
I'm glad he didn't add the dancing twink behind her. He showed respect.
ImpressiveInstants Could be that Michelle isn’t a man, and the boys are gay.
People, especially many in the younger generation forget the power and impact that Madonna made. As someone who has seen the rise and primes of both artists, Madonna has made the most impact regarding LGBT rights, her fashion, her music, women’s liberation, and so forth.
Michelle is correct. There wouldn’t be a Lady Gaga without Madonna. Don’t get it twisted. I love Lady Gaga. I actually respect her more as an artist, performer, and person. Lady Gaga’s music career fizzled out after Born This Way. Gaga had hits here and there since. Meanwhile, Madonna for over 20 years consecutively, has had multiple singles from each of her albums become top ten hits, played in constant rotation on radio stations and MTV. That’s the truth.
I LOVE MICHELLE!!! she is amazing
Ez Rayler p
True words about Madonna. Thank you so much Michelle.
You know when Lady Red is not rolling around, stoned on that sofa, and is sitting up, in rapt attention that some real wisdom and t is being spilt on that couch.
I am so glad that she gave Madonna the props that Madonna deserves. There is no other and there never will be. It isn't possible because Madonna paved the way. Done. Now everyone else can walk that path and do it in their way. But ALWAYS remember who paved it and with tons of bs, hatred and obstacles along the way. And she is still paving the way and fighting ageism as everyone says she should retire. Why? If she is having fun and doing her thing, why should she retire and why should anyone care? Who is she hurting? She won't stop until she is dead and that is a life that is LIVED TO THE FULLEST. How many people can say that? Not many. Madonna is the Queen & I'm glad that Michelle Visage & I are on the same page. I would love to see my Queen with Michelle, because I have only had 1 friend that can keep up with me at one of her concerts. I had to start going alone to be in Row 1 and it paid off. Total acknowledgement two nights in a row at Rebel Heart Tour in Miami. I can die a Happy man.
Preach it Michelle!
Just so you know Michelle, I am 16 and I know who Madonna is, I love her, preach her and she is a true iconic queen to me. I did read about her and admire everything she has done for the LGBT community. I know that only few young gay people know as much as I do about her, but I just wanted to let you know that she is still an admiration and a person to look at for some young people. But, just like you, I think it is important to always remember her importance and to admire everything she’s done. Lots of love, thank you for being you, I also look up to you Michelle, xoxo.
why is it so terrible that Carmen disagrees with Ru about the use of a word? idk I can see it from both sides, why some would find it insulting and why some would think it's not that big a deal.
Malou i guess the weight of the word for carmen is v heavy and it's regarded as a slur in the trans community so i that's why she came for her
I don't think the problem is that she disagrees. It's how she decided to express that disagreement.
What was the word I’m lost I totally missed this drama
Carmen criticized the S6 “She-male or Female” mini-challenge, which was consequently removed from the version of the show you can get from iTunes & Amazon: www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2014/04/01/carmen-carrera-slams-idrag-racei-over-transphobic-slur?
Around the same time Courtney Act criticized RuPaul’s response to trans issues, which RuPaul also perceived as an attack:
