Disco Queens are Weeping.

So I'm going to start this post with a little bit of a nod to a much-disputed gay icon who's recently passed away. Donna Summer was part of the disco culture, which was a safe haven for so many in the gay community back in the 1970s. She was also an inspiration for many drag queens, past and present, with her big hair and flamboyant outfits. She even made the switch hitters of the time with a certain line in one of her hits, haha. Donna alleged made some not so fabulous comments about the gays and AIDS that some people still hold her to. Others claim it never happened. But even if she did make one of those 'God is punishing you' comments, her impact on the drag community and disco queens is undeniable.


I have a personal story somewhat sort of connected here too, crazy enough. (Apart from my mom and uncle being into disco during that scene.)A little over a year ago I was working in the gayest produce department in a grocery store ever...and THIS jam constantly blared through the speakers in the meat room. It was a big, meaty, gay hell. Complete with homophobic pineapples.
