So, full disclosure, I am a bi male. No need to try to rationalize how attracted to either gender, because it is complicated, even to me. Suffice it to say I am far more attracted to men and trans women, than cis women. I have a ciswoman in my life, but I think if she were not, I would probably would not be with another ciswoman.
Anyway, I like to go to drag shows occasionally. I just think they are fun, and on some level, inspiring. The girls who put on the drag shows do an amazing job usually. It inspires me because they just go for it and be who they are, and are un-apologetically. themselves. They are beautiful and entertaining. I usually have a blast when I go.
However, when I go to such shows, sometimes I see straight women in gaggles at drag shows having a bachelorette party. After the alcohol starts flowing, I have to say more often than not, said bachelorette partiers tend to be not much more than woo girls of the most annoying order. On some level, I have to say in all honestly, I am offended they are there. It's like a group of straight girls who go to party at a place that really should be like a refuge for LGBTQ people from the bullshit of the straight world, and have fun. Especially since life for gay men is especially difficult. Every time I see a group of straight women at a drag show, I have to be honest. It offends me. Why are they there in the first place? What right do they even have to be there. Gay and bi men, as well as CD and trans women are not put on this Earth for the amusement and quaintness of straight women having a bachelorette party. Now, I know said venues who hold drag shows have to do what they have to to stay financially solvent, but got damn, why the eff do straight women have to show up at gay establishments and party it up at drag shows? seems almost like a form of cultural appropriation to me.
Am I wrong to thing that? Do you agree or disagree? If I am jaded, please tell me I am. Offer advice! But seriously, this is a pet peeve of mine.
