Seattle AIDS Group Turns Culture Police

Dan Savage reports that Seattle's Lifelong AIDS Alliance has canned Glamazonia, the long-time hostess of its popular Gay Bingo fundraiser, because (get this) of a new sexual harassment policy that does not allow the use of naughty language during its events.

Drag queens. No trash talk. The mind reels.

Glamazonia, aka Thom Hubert, says, "There was language [in the policy] how 'the performer/mc will prepare material avoiding sexually suggestive material… will use appropriate language and avoid vulgar language.' As a drag queen, if I stuck to this stuff by the letter, why, I’d have to wear a black robe and stand behind a podium and just read the numbers out. The contract said, ‘the host will not act in a flirtatious manner, will not wear reveailing clothing, will not make sexual gestures or comments.’ How could any drag queen appear or perform under these guidelines?"

None that I've ever seen could.
