Every time people in the trans community mention what a smug a-hole Ru Paul is, our opinions are flicked away. Every time we've every complained about how trans/gender variant people aren't well represented on supposed LGBT channels like LOGO, those opinions are discounted. So why should anyone be surprised that Drag Race, year after year, picks soul-less, not very appealing winners. Tyra Sanchez... hello?! Not to worry anyway, because the only thing their supposed 'next superstars of drag' are doing is a few months of huckstering booze and making quickie appearances at a few bars and discos filled with people who disagreed with their being 'crowned.'
