Christian Siriano answers some burning questions

Let the gays begin

"Which leads us to our last question: Drag has always been part of our experience and always will be. What is its everlasting appeal? Why won’t it ever die?

If you think of heterosexuals, they have white-trash women and trailer parks, and we have drag queens and trannies. I don’t know if I’m the one who can explain it. It’s, like, drag queens are just there. These answers are hard!"

That remark is wrong on so many levels. The child needs to grow up before he becomes a walking caricature right up there with the stereotypes he is lumping together.

Miss Siriano needs a leather daddy to teach her some manners. A ball gag would do wonders for her foot-in-mouth disease.

GYPSY?!!?
None of these people have seen GYPSY!!
They should be stripped of their gay cards immediately! (Or made to read TLo's fab Musical Monday's movie recaps)

Poor PPS. He needs to be kept in the bottle a little while longer so he can mature.

He's getting just a bit more full of himself, isn't he?

I couldn't have said it better than Patsy Stone:

"He needs to be kept in the bottle a little while longer so he can mature."

Is this what the next generation of gays is going to be like? I find his comment very disrespectful and quite frankly a step back in time.

This will bite him in the ass...

He needs to shut his big gay mouth.

whoever wrote the last comment is homophobic and should not be allowed to even comment on this site.
just respect people for who they are. whether gay or straight.

I can't...
Hmm.

I can't decide...is he saying that, like heterosexuals have trailer trash, homosexuals have drag queens and trannies? Or is he saying that heterosexuals have trailer trash, which is terrible, so they can't even begin to grasp the idea of drag queens? Because neither is good.

Or is he just saying, "I'm young and one-dimensional! Look at me!"?

Oh dear.

Drag Queens and Trannies are FIERCE, Christian. You'd think a fairy wouldn't be so intolerant of queens.

honestly, the comment doesn't make much sense... so I'll give our little PPS the benefit of the doubt, since, after reading that interview, he was obviously way overwhelmed by those questions.

I'm thinking that Lady Bunny would qualify in both categories. Could it be she's a closet heterosexual?

BTW, I see he's using your 'pocket gay' moniker (but not giving you credit!!) Bitch.

And ain't it ironic? He's got a gimmick, and he's getting ahead.

Go figure.

Let's be fair - he didn't win project runway because he was eloquent -

Well, it's not as though we didn't already know he wasn't very deep or insightful or had a social conscience.

It's beginning to look as though our dear little friend desperately needs to put a publicist on payroll.
