On Tuesday, Huffington Post published a story by Curtis M. Wong about Marty Thomas (photo above), who is one of the actors performing on Broadway in Pageant: The Musical. The article is interesting and includes a slideshow of photos from the show, however, I take exception to the following quote from the article.
"You can’t just go by the standby strikes or clichés of drag queens. It’s a celebration, rather than a camp mimicking, of women, as can only be told through the voice of gay men."
There are so many things wrong with those words that I don't know where to begin! My panties are duly knotted.
Wearing Nanette Lepore.
A contestant and eventual winner in a womanless beauty pageant (2014).

"Those shoes.." and a very pretty dress! So will you be writing to the Huff to tell them?
