as well as Jonathan Winters as Maude Frickert.

Flip Wilson as Geraldine will always be my favorite. He had the legs for those miniskirts!

Generations grew up with this stuff, and millions upon millions of us were never 'converted'! So this whole LGBTQ war is a cruel, banal evil that they need to project from their own fear-filled, dark, lost souls.

The Doc probably never inspired anyone to be a drag queen--because they know they'd never look as fabulous.

men's foibles - their avarice, loutishness, buffoonery.

When men portray women, it's frequently used to show foolishness.

I dunno. I'm not a skollar or nuthin!
