'Look what’s happened every time you’ve tried to oppress a community in America,' Jinkx Monsoon from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' says. 'We’re not accepting that some citizens just have to sit on the outside and be the outliers of our society.'
doubled down on her denouncement of the Republican-led legislative push to restrict drag performances, in an interview that aired Friday on MSNBC's"The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle."
She added,"We’re not accepting that some citizens just have to sit on the outside and be the outliers of our society, because that’s not what this country was supposedly founded on."Lawmakers in at least 16 states have so far this year proposed legislation that would restrict drag performances, according to an NBC News analysis. The majority of the bills would ban the performances in the presence of minors and fine repeat violators thousands of dollars.
Critics, like Monsoon, say these bills unfairly target the art form because of its deep ties to the LGBTQ community. “We have been conditioned to believe that there is a 'right' and 'wrong' way to do things and that there’s a 'natural' and an 'unnatural' way to do things," she said. “Imagine how infuriating that would be if you spent your whole life following the rules and then you were told those rules don’t actually exist.
