Arguing over nothing

Are you saying a pantomime dame is the same as a drag queen? Totally different.

Although probably soon, men won't be able to dress up as women for fun/comedy because it will be seen as a hate-crime against draggers/transexuals.

If they did then they would be drag acts themselves. I can't see a problem with the Lily Savages of this world...

To anyone that doesn't understand pantomime, the dame is not a female impersonator, the dame is always clearly a man dressed as a woman and pretending to be a woman and aping female habits and attitudes, without any hint of cross-gendering. All the Danny LaRue (who?) wannabes you see these days don't understand the comedie dell arte roles which form the origin of our modern pantomime.

Obviously anyone outside the UK won't have a clue about panto anyway!

I love it when someone opens their mouth without have a bloody clue.

Do they have pantomimes in Canada?
