“In Russian (and other Eastern European countries) culture ballroom dance, ice skating, and ballet are masculine pursuits for boys and do not have the same homophobic stigma that carries through into American culture. As long as they express traditional masculinity in their art, it’s okay, and that can include Swarovski crystals (if they’re lucky). I’m not saying this isn’t problematic as far as diversity of expression beyond the binary, but conservative or traditional parents are generally very happy to have their sons pursue these arts. Plane Jane quit due to pressure from school friends, NOT from home and that makes perfect sense. It’s the same with the traditional Evzones guards in Greece. Americans might giggle or snark, but they fit in with (hot) traditional culture.
And next time when you have one of the most effervescent and charismatic queens, Salina EsTitties, on let her sparkle instead discussing her unfair treatment she experienced for half the interview. Move on. Don’t help her possibly ruin her chances for All Stars. I had to stop listening. Thank you. I criticize because I care. You are a fun host and I loved you on Binge Queens.”
