Living in “The Shade” Hello everybody. I have lived in my little gay bubble for a long time now, and by that, I mean I rarely interact with non-gay people ….
what are they called? Straights? Of course I come across them in the Walmartz, the Brookshires and sometimes even in the clubs.
But they are not part of my core group that I talk to every day. Hence, my little gay bubble. So, I got to wondering if the straights deal with “The Shade” as much as we do?
I mean, I know that girls can be shady; I have watched Real Housewives. But The Gays can shade like no other, and a drag queen wields a read like an Airbender with a fart. (Feel free to take a second to envision that!) A well-timed, thoughtful read can be such a beautiful thing.
