and he has always been my go to when refuting claims that being gay can hurt an actor’s attractiveness to women.

I remember when she passed people around here were kind of shitting on Laura in praise of Mary Richards.

He was ALWAYS a low-rent Richard Lawson!

Nope. That doesn’t mean anyone woman who watches it has to STFU about the topic for eternity.

You’re right that almost everything is staged. But here she kept moving to be off camera (and of course he and cameras followed her so she kept moving.) I don’t think she was in on it beforehand.

I love that Arie is so dumb that he went along with the public breakup. I’m sure ABC pressured him to do it on TV but what kind of idiot goes along with that? Lots of Bachelors breakup with their chosen one shortly after. They don’t do it live because they know it will make them look like total a-holes.

I do have a friend who is a trans woman, that performs drag in Chicago. To be honest, its not really drag (I guess the term is faux drag) - because that’s her daily look amplified. She is still an excellent performer and a way better looking woman than I will ever be!

Of all the talented writers to cross through Gawker it’s distressing that Brian Moylan is still a working journalist and so many of his betters are not.

I don’t think he is being unreasonable here at all. He accepts trans people and welcomes them. But it really is different when they start formal transition when its a drag competition. And, yes, there are always going to be blurry lines about when a transition really starts. Because gender is not a black and white…
