  • What's More Disgusting Than an Old Homer?

    THIS made me sick when it came across my True Christian™ newsfeed. Limp-wristed sissyboys are disgusting enough, but what can be more revolting than an old queer dressing up like a woman?

    There is a degenerate video waiting to be viewed if you click on the link above.

    'Beautiful By Night,' James Hosking Photo Series, Documents Aging Drag Queens

    What does it mean to grow older when you're a drag queen?

    James Hosking explores this idea in his striking photo series "Beautiful By Night." As San Francisco continues to change and become increasingly gentrified, patently queer spaces have become few and far between. "Beautiful By Night" documents the lives of Donna Personna, Collette LeGrande and Olivia Hart, three senior drag queens who perform at Charlie’s Lounge -- reportedly the only gay bar left in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district.

    In order to better understand this photo series and the lives of these three queens, The Huffington Post chatted with Hosking about "Beautiful By Night."



    The Huffington Post: Why did you decide to embark on this project?


    James Hosking: Drag can seem passé, and the way it's visually documented can be formulaic at worst -- campy at best. But, for me, there were still under-explored issues of identity, labor and performance that drew me to drag as a subject. Aunt Charlie’s is also unique in that it’s very specific to the neighborhood and to San Francisco, while also being representative of smaller drag bars across America. I was interested in mining the lives of Olivia, Donna and Collettte for experiences that would illuminate the larger issues I mentioned while still capturing their realities faithfully.

    What do you hope viewers take away from this project?


    In our article for Out magazine, the writer Jeremy Lybarger quoted Warhol: drag queens “perform a documentary service, usually consecrating their lives to keeping the glittering alternative alive and available for (not-too-close) inspection.” I hope viewers appreciate the time, money and stamina it takes to transform yourself into a drag performer. It's real labor and not always particularly glamorous. For older performers, especially, it requires commitment and energy to keep the process interesting. Plus, there's an ongoing desire to break through the audience's defenses and elicit unexpected emotion -- a kind of transcendence over the crude materials of make-up, wigs and pop songs. As Donna says in the Out article, "It’s the opposite of being bored. I would like people to feel something." In the film, she says simply, "I'm living the experience."

    What do you think we can understand about aging within the queer community through these performers? Why is this important?

    Aging creates a lack of visibility. Representations of aging in pop culture often lack credibility or subtlety. My intention was to show the authentic experiences of these older performers. They're not caricatures but complex, three-dimensional people who are still working through insecurities from their youth, as most of us are. But Olivia, Donna and Collette all share the gift of ignoring the judgements of others to just be who they want to be. That's empowering.

    Why do you think raising the visibility level of these performers is so important?

    Their stories explore themes of aging and self-acceptance that implicate all of us -- we're all going to be where they're at physically and mentally. I only hope that I, personally, exhibit the same grace and gusto they have. And, ultimately, I just found them fascinating both as individuals and as performers. I'm delighted to see the positive feedback from readers online. I feel privileged that the performers trusted me to document their lives.
    I wonder if this guy will "feel privileged" once Jesus wads him up and sends him down to hell, for supporting nasty old queers like this. Homers (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death."

    Romans 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
    Who Will Jesus Damn?

    Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

    Someone needs to share the following verse with these men.

    Deuteronomy 22:5
    The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
    Baptist Bethany (Not a Cherry Picker)
    Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
    ***There are 613 commandments given in the Old Testament***

      Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

              I think it's the first time you've ever been right about anything! Their bottom halves look as though they're facing backwards! They must be possessed by rectal demons, like that girl in the movie The Exorcist where her head spins around.
