He was not in drag.
!!!!
Well, but he wouldn't have been 'in drag', as such, because he's not a drag act. He's a transvestite - it's just that when he's on stage he's usually shinier/dressier than usual.
t /pedantry
But that doesn't always mean skirts - in fact most of the time it
doesn't
mean skirts. But it's usually women's clothes, whether we're talking leather pants or more conservative gear. afaik.
I guess you'd have noticed heels, so presumably he
didn't
have heels on - but I'd be surprised if he wasn't wearing women's clothes. It's kind of his thing.
::wonders whether Izzard has had some kind of freaky Road To Damascus thing about wearing boys' clothes...::
Oh, also? So very, very jealous.
Someone help me follow this logic leap...
All the hype around Brokeback Mountain makes kids question their friendships with same sex friends.
WTF? I had a parent from K-Bug's team say this to me.

He was wearing black boots, jeans, a black belt, a lavender button-up dress shirt, and a black sportcoat. There was nothing girly at all about his look. He was All Man, baby!
Yeah, that Brokeback thing is so ridiculous, I don't even know what to say. I'd imagine this is coming from right-leaning parents, not from any kids.

??? Please to explain, as my brain isn't functioning at all and all I can think of is St. Paul (nee Saul of Tarsus), and I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.

Until the hype, kids didn't realize people could be gay!
What Nicole @@ed.
I'm sorry, I can't be friends with girls anymore, because that might make me a dyke. Hanging out with only boys will make me much more of a real girl.

...I'd still be surprised if these clothes weren't bought from a women's clothing outlet. That's my point. He generally wear's women's clothes. Not flouncy girly clothes (although I still remember the early days, when he first Came Out as a TV, but before he got a stylist/someone gave him a good talking to), but usually women's clothes nevertheless, even if it's just a pair of jeans and a plain white shirt.

(1) I bet it doesn't. I don't think many kids are watching it and analyzing the dynamics of the central relationship, although I dare say a lot of them have heard of the gay cowboy movie and are making jokes about it.
(2) If it DOES...well, er,
good.
Nothing wrong with asking questions. 'Do I fancy person X?' is pretty easily answered if you
don't
fancy X. And if you do fancy them, the knowledge of the existence of a movie about gay cowboys has not magically made you gay. Although it may have cluesticked you about the fact that you're not so much with the straight.
Honest to God. They're worrying about a movie slashing people? That's...novel.
