There's a difference between "homophobia" and "a reality check." If people feel like behaving like utter caricatures, and I will refer to them as such.
But you do realize, don't you, that by being nasty and calling other people "queen" in such a derisive manner, you yourself are behaving like an "utter caricature" of a "nasty, bitter queen."
Or do you?
There's a reason older gays (those of us you call "geriatric queens") stopped referring to each other like that decades ago.
Look up a book called "The Velvet Rage." I think you might finf it life-changing.
Yes, yes I do, when they behave as such.
But do you realize that you're the only one "behaving as such" here?
Wait, what's a butter queen?
Do you understand that's what you're doing? Creating a straw man with negative traits and then embodying them.
Why would you do that?
Who are you angry at?
This one's waaay too easy
First off, Gibson, I never try to contact you, it's you who always seem to want to bait me. Second, sent your phony photo shopped emails you want, you're still a fraud and a loser.
Why do you call people names?
I've said a prayer to Iflit. I'm hoping she whispers the color code in my ear.

I attended a Lupone concert in Pittsburgh once. Had great seats - about 8 rows back Center R on the aisle. There was a Patti fan, male about 20 sitting with a female (girlfriend? fag hag?) in about row D Center L. This lunatic would stand after every song and applaud for at least 5 seconds after all the applause had stopped. He must have yelled "I love you" 50 times during the show. The female with him had to pull on his arm after every song to get him to sit down. I was far enough away for him to be just distracting. I'm sure those sitting around him were ready to kill. Patti noticed him early (how could she not) but after the first number, I don't think she glanced his way again. Toward the end of the show, 6 men (ushers?) appeared from nowhere and stood in front of the stage looking toward this guy. Why do certain fans think the show is just for them???
So that you could ask.
The more you go on calling people names, the more you become the "bitter queen" you rail against.
The only one.
Do you understand that?
I remember one evening at Next to Normal, two fangirls seemed to be in a contest to see who could sob more loudly. I shed many tears during that show's run...but this was over the top. I'm sure after the show they were at the stage door asking Alice if she saw them crying during scene after the smashed music box.
So what do you expect me to do? Break down crying and thank you for breaking through my inner demons and filling my heart with sunshine, gumdrops, and lollipops?
I just shrieked in delight like, a butter queen, at CarlosAlberto's avatar. Childhood hero, that Maleficent.
Carry on. Carry on.
RobbieJ - I don't remember the chart, but vermilion just sounds right to me.
The NEXT TO NORMAL fans died down after Marin and Jason went into the show, at least I think. I could have just lucked out the several times I saw it.
The RENT fans drive me nuts. Does anyone remember when someone on BWW suggested Jonathan Larson should have a Broadway theatre named after him?
And WHAAAAT?! People actually held a candlelight vigil for Idina Menzel when she fell? Oh boy. I don't remember that.
As close enough to a BUTTER QUEEN as you're ever gonna get:
Okay, well this thread has (mostly) gone the way I did not intend for it... Sigh. Partially due to that miserable 19 year old poseur Gibson.
I take that back. The REAL Butter Queen is undoubtedly PAULA DEEN

How did you intend for it to go?
Another butt-er queen...

Reg, you mean, "How did he 'intended' it to go?"
I mean, if he's gonna bust on PJ for his "butter queen" typo, I can bust on his grammar, right?
"And WHAAAAT?! People actually held a candlelight vigil for Idina Menzel when she fell? Oh boy. I don't remember that."
...Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they sand the "Latin Chant" from the concept album of "Evita" with their noses cloth-pinned. (As an homage to Idina.)
