    Las Vegas, Nevada - Home of world class performers and limitless entertainment options! In this episode, I get a chance to shadow one of those incredible individuals, an iconic Drag Queen who goes by the name of "Hot Chocolate."
    For 24 hours, Hot Chocolate AKA Larry Edwards takes me on a typical "Day in the Life" as a Drag Queen on the Las Vegas strip.
    We workout, go to his incredible drag brunch at Señor Frogs inside Treasure Island, eat lunch at Caesar's Palace, shop for makeup, and have a wild night out in Las Vegas!
    Larry is an incredible entertainer and an even better person!!

      Hello. Japan is famous for the righteous "samurai," "bushido," "ninja," "shogun," and "Zatoichi" who avenge evil, but there are also "hissatsu shigotonin" who assassinate unforgivable evil people.

    I love Larry. For over 20 years, every time I went to Las Vegas, I would go to the Diva's show. Larry was always very friendly and willing to talk to everyone that attended the show. He would walk through the casino dressed as Tina Turner to tell people about the show. It looks like you had a great time with this story. You are very entertaining so I HAD to subscribe to your channel. The best of luck to you.

    You’re an awesome person, Gareth and that’s why you’re so blessed. It’s a breath of fresh air to see a studly straight guy who is so accepting, loving, and kind. I won’t forget your simple act of kindness when you agreed to have a picture with me and my partner in San Diego. It was at Seaport Village. I instantly recognized you but didn’t realize you were tall. You were with a beautiful woman and a cute toddler. Keep thriving and thanks for being kind to the LGBT community.

    • @lendalee1966
      @lendalee1966 2 месяца назад

      The good-hearted ones are but don't put it off on just straight guys being jerks. There are gay people, gay men and trans. Women who hate straightening period no matter what the straight guy does at. That straight guy is not willing to sleep with the trans for any steps. He must be hard on transfolded. No, he's straight and he wants to biological women. There's nothing wrong with that. And he has no hate towards that trans woman. But she wants to make it into something. Then you have the gay drag queens that hate straight men. If the straight man isn't gay. Well, that's because he's straight. There are a lot of straightening out there that do not have a problem with the LGBTQ community. I know because I'm part of the community and I know a lot of straight people I have run across very few and I mean very, very few who do not like somebody because of their sexual preference but I have run across a lot of Christians. They do not have a problem with the person being gay or transfer anythey do believe that it's a sin. They believe they have to pray to God so that you don't go to hell. And that's nothing mean for them to say that they truly believe in the Bible. You cannot hate somebody for believing and the Bible if they were raised to believe in that bible. Just like Muslims or race to believe what they believe and Muslims. Religion also do not approve of gay people. And they actually believe in killing the gay. People Christians do not Christians believe in praying for you and being kind to you. A true Christian will be kind to a gay person. That's when you know they're a real Christian. Because true Christians do not hate anybody. But Christians true Christians are hated by the LG b. T community big time and that's not right. You're actually the one that's being in the wrong now. I won't admit there are some straight people that are also gay. People that are horrible transpeople. That are horrible. That's improving this year. There's a lot of trans women out there that are calling themselves transwomen. That really are promoted. Men that like to rape women and they pretend to be a transwoman. So they can go into women jails. Women's prisons, women bathrooms and term those women in the victimso. You gotta look at it from both sides. I look at it from both sides. There is good and bad. And it does not discriminate. You got good people and every group and you got bad people. And every group what bothers me is the majority of liberal woke. People do not believe that they believe anybody that's not like them is completely bad. That's wrong and the ones on the right that are hard cord. Nazi racist, homophobics, they are also wrong. I wish to God that people would wake up and stop being racist. Stop hitting on each other and start caring. About one another for the simple fact that we are all humans and the ones that are sick and evil and like to hurt other people. Physically and mentally those are the people. We need to lock up because they should not be around out in public where they can hurt people. And those kind of people come in every color and come in every type of Is type of sexual orientation

    Ive done drag for almost a decade and i can remember watching videos of Larry on youtubes early days as a teenager

    Just want to add that a lot of us straight women have our guard down in these spaces because we feel safe and welcomed. If straight men with good energy and intentions want to frequent these spaces they should start by actually befriending ppl in the community not just viewing it as a hot spot for beautiful women. ❤️

    Everybody loves Hot Chocolate! Imo, drag is the epitome of human artistic expression. The body as art. I love the art and the artists! If I was at a different point in my life I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to design and sew for drag performers. I have an eye for detail and I have serious skills when it comes to garment construction. Completely wasted talents as I blob out in disabled obscurity in rural Oregon. At least I have trees to keep me company.

    Gay clubs are a great place for straight men to meet straight women. There's no competition, your relaxed, having fun. I know of a couple who were married last year and met at a gay club. Of course, if you get hit on by a guy, be polite and let them know your flatter but your straight... they'll walk away or be impressed that a straight guy is in a gay club, and may even introduced you to their straight girlfriends. Win Win For All.
