I'm suspicious about it, but there's no way of telling at the moment.

...Pretty stupid from Black to not admit fucking up.<br /><br />A drag queen is by definition a male portraying a caricature of a sexist female stereotype, commonly (but not exclusively) for adults only entertainment; as is the gent in questions line of work.<br /><br />Saying 'Kids this is what gay/trans folk look like' is hardly progressive too. I have both family members and friends who are LGB; they lived in the same 'community' as everyone else rather than some special, mysterious one, and are just regular folk with normal professions. Why not show kids LGB folks are no different to the rest of us, rather than e.g. sexist caricatures?<br /><br />I just got the quick 'X has two mums' explanation and that seemed all fine to me over 35 years ago when I was a wee kid. You have to actually teach children that there's something wrong with LGB for them to think that. You don't need to teach them its ok; they don't care at all naturally. Hate / bigotry / homophobia is learned; it's not natural to children. So, teaching kids that 'gay folk don't look like the rest of us, but are all wild, colorful and slightly odd' doesn't make a lot of sense, you'll just confuse them. <br /><br />Why not bring in a gay GP or architect? Or maybe bring in a gay one and a hetro one and ask the kids if they can spot the difference? <br /><br />Seems like a better way to teach things to me.
