<a href='http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4592541.stm' target='_blank'>BBC link</a><br><br>1) Good for the marchers. They deserve full rights.<br><br>2) Odd that a respected news source used the term 'drag queen'. Does that mean it's the normal phrase to use?

I'm not sure what other term there is for one exactly. "Transvestite" and "transsexual" have other connotations.

It depends, are they weirdo transvestites, action transvestites, or executive transvetites.<br><br>EDIT: Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I GET IT.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

My rule is that I won't laugh at someone for being gay. <br><br>But being camp? C'mon, that's hillarious!

It occurs to me that the title of the thread could imply a march for the rights of big giant gays.

That's actually what I thought of when I first read it.
