Petition: LOGO: "Tranny" Hurts Drop Rupaul's Drag Race
Petition and educational action calling on advertisers and LOGO TV to drop "Rupaul's Drag Race" .
This action is not a debate on whether Rupaul is transgender.
This is a action targeting RuPaul's monatry base educating them of the negative association they incur by supporting this actor who persists in defaming Transgender and Transsexual people with the pejorative "Tranny".
Words hurt regardless who says them, LGB or T!
Rupaul has long contended he simply wishes transgender people to "own tranny" but recently it became clear this is not the case. In a recent interview hyping what he hopes to be another season of "Drag Race" on Huffington Post Rupaul recently said about Lance Bass's apology for using the word"tranny," "It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!... I love the word "tranny"...And I hate the fact that he's apologized. I wish he would have said, 'F-you, you tranny jerk!'"
From that statement there can be no doubt RuPaul is aware "Tranny" is a hurtful word. We have wasted years trying to impress that fact on Rupaul.
Its time to take the message to those who pay his salary. Stop giving this man a platform to attack our transgender minority!
