IG post defending drag and folks in the LGBTQ+ community saying her Ursula role in The Little Mermaid should’ve gone to a drag queen, the star is getting it from all sides.

What neither camp seems to be considering (or possibly even aware of?) is McCarthy’s own past as a drag performer. Not the one night only, Lizzo as Amazonia Prime, Bad Bunny in “Yo Perreo Sola” drag performance, but a truly defined queen character.This extravaganza was back in her pre-fame days in the early ’90s when she was hustling in NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen and rooming with super-hot shoe designer Brian Atwood.

She told the tale of Atwood and friends prompting her to take the stage in full geish to Rolling Stone years ago.“It was me there with my lovely gay guy friends and I was dressed like a big old drag queen,” she said. “I went by Miss Y.”The name seems to have been derived from “Missy”, a nickname Atwood refers to her with later in the piece.“I had a gold lamé swing coat on, a huge wig, big eyelashes,” she recalled. “I talked about being incredibly wealthy and beautiful and living extravagantly, and the first night worked great.

ABOVE: I reacted to the above (Matt is an invaluable Twitter follow, by the way, informationally) by saying Matt is cute and some prick said I am old enough to be Matt's father. (1) I'm no one's father, (2) I said CUTE, I didn't do a full Lenny palm-bite, (3) I said CUTE in response to a playfully sexy post, and (4) why are so many queer people this nutty about age-gap anything? You know, the people you find cute, even sexy, don't necessary radically change as you age. There's nothing wrong with seeing cuteness forever, and actually, there's nothing wrong with dating someone way younger if they're an adult. This infantilization of young adults is a part of the overall societal push to call more and more and more things pedophilia.
