Many commenters have called Roxxxy out on her well timed emotional breakdown right before she looked like she was going to be eliminated, as well as her sudden apology for constantly picking on or putting down fan favorite Jinkx Monsoon, when earlier in the same episode Roxxxy gleefully reveals she was purposely playing on Jinkx's insecurities to throw her off her game.
note This, of course, is a very one-sided justification many fans use to hate him, and ignores a lot of the garbage James had to deal after Season 2. It's perhaps worth noting that he has quit drag since then, and is now simply James. Between threats to other queens (including infamously claiming Morgan McMichaels was dead when she wasn't), a racist comment at Raja, and once making a not-so-veiled threat to an entire DragCon, Tyra isn't gonna shed this anytime soon.
Ru seems to have learned her lesson one of the benefits of letting the season run before choosing a winner is being able to consider fans' opinions before making her choice. Of the season winners, Tyra Sanchez is the most hated by far, as most viewers feel that her flawless runway looks did not balance out her poor attitude, and she conveniently had immunity when she would have been in the bottom two.Shannel to a slightly lesser extent than Rebecca, she even comments on her return to All Stars how everyone thought she was an arrogant bitch during her season.He will still do drag when he feels like it, but mostly he considers himself a make-up artist now note However, a big part of this is due to the fact after the first season of All-Stars Rebecca became 'semi-retired' from drag. She and Phi Phi were the only runners-up who weren't voted back for All-Stars, and unlike Phi Phi she also wasn't invited to participate in All-Stars Season 2. Rebecca Glasscock in Season 1, due to her poor attitude and lack of character beyond just being a 'pretty face'.It is by standing together that we can achieve real change. So while we celebrate Pride and these amazing people on the Pride Power List, let’s remember that there is still much work to be done. I believe that a major factor in this decline is that the UK is simply not keeping up with the rest of Europe in giving our trans siblings equal rights how can we tolerate a ban on conversion therapy if it does not include our trans siblings? Until we all have equal rights, none of us have equal rights. Despite living in a country where we can celebrate who we are and who we love openly, it is very discouraging to see that the UK has slipped to 17th on the IGLA-Europe Rainbow Map index - we were number one in 2015. This is incredibly heartening, given the increasingly troubled times we are living through. When I think back and remember that when I founded this list I struggled to include 50 out and proud names, I am struck by how far we have come. It’s a sign of our times that there are so many others, besides those highlighted here, that could have been chosen. This list is now in its 15th year and truly highlights those in our LGBTQIA community, and our allies, who consistently advocate and champion the diversity of our rainbow community.
When we produce the annual Pride Power List, I am reminded how grateful, proud and privileged I am to be part of such a progressive and forward-thinking community.
