Gay Republicans want inquiry on UMSL drag show

[Thom Little]

The Log Cabin Republicans of Greater St. Louis have asked for an investigation of a drag show at the University of Missouri at St. Louis last month.

Charles Stadtlander, president of the political organization for gay, lesbian and bisexual Republicans, attended the Oct. 14 drag show. The second annual show was sponsored by several groups, including PRIZM, an organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students.

Stadtlander said performers in the show mocked heterosexual people in the audience, wore revealing outfits, used inappropriate language and simulated sex acts.

He said university officials should not have signed off on the event, and he complained that taxpayer dollars were involved.

2. "a gay person protecting straight peoples sensibilities"

That seems to be a major priority of Log Cabin Republicans - perhaps a higher priority than protecting gay rights.

6. whether or not he's right, this is an odd group to take this on!

7. Raunchy drag queens...I'm shocked, shocked.

This guy needs to get out more, get a life, and dare I say it, get laid. Sounds like your basic drag show. All the girls are not perfect ladies. Also, this was a college crowd, which means all adults. Does he want to ban R rated movies next?
