The chief of the Lewes Fire Department on Sunday used an anti-gay slur to describe a local drag queen. William Buckaloo called Magnolia Applebottom a “faggot” in a Facebook post he wrote while she performed at the Blue Moon in Rehoboth Beach. “The shit I get talked in to (sic) … Matt, talked us to go to a faggot show,” proclaimed Buckaloo in the post.
Applebottom on Monday shared Buckaloo’s post on her Instagram page. “What a sad turn of events,” wrote Applebottom. “The Lewes Fire chief thought it was ok to go to a gay-owned and operated establishment … and go to a show hosted and produced by a (sic) award-winning gay entertainer and use that F word on social media.” “Your job is to protect the people in our community, not bring us down,”
