Why keep preaching to the choir?

Take the gay agenda were it is needed, Saudi Arabia perhaps?
Iran for sure, and Pakistan and Jamaica and a whole slew of sub-saharan nations that need it more than EU or North American nations do.

Anything that is over-done and repeated till everyone gets nauseous is torture for torture’s sake with no redeeming points for anyone.

It is true that some mysogynist men will find this an excellent excuse to poke fun at women, just like some transphobic men will find this an excellent excuse to poke fun at the ‘jaqq nisa-rgiel pufti’.

However, there are many others doing this to show their sympathy and support with Newirth, or better, his alter-ego of Conchita Wurst, especially in light of all the hate from Russia and beyond. Nigella Lawson, for example, posted a picture of her ‘bearded’ self.

I doubt she was poking fun at women. So there’s different perspectives to this trend. Focusing on just one will not do anybody any favours.

[Daphne – Nigella Lawson has built a career on parodying women (does that sound like a contradiction?). Her most famous cook-book title is ‘How to be a Domestic Goddess.’ Also, she is not exactly in a good place right now. So she is not the best example of a woman determined to keep her dignity.]

Personally I can’t get enough of the gay agenda. So much more fun than the straight agenda, which is, what? Televised snooker?

Our government is more concerned with homophobia than it is with misogyny.

Enough already!

We get it.

Stop beating us on the head day and night with your sexuality, over and over.

Not only bearded ladies but tattooed ladies. You used to pay to see a tattooed lady – now they’re everywhere.

I would be too.

Neuwirth is doing more harm than good. He is ridiculing women and reinforcing the male homosexual stereotype. In reality, women are talented, intelligent and capable and most gays are normal, classy and discreet. Neuwirth brought out our sad tendency to mock that which we find abnormal.

Oh, you mean like Joseph’s crown. Not a regal one lest he gets more delusions of grandeur.
