I've been thinking lately about our gender mores shifting, that MASCULINE! and FEMININE! no longer have hard & fixed definitions. And why should they? Fashions change. Babies, I am quite certain, are still getting made the old-fashioned way. I suspect that before this century is out, we will see a *much* broader ranger of gender expression, with 'classic' cis-het expressions being viewed as quaint at best. We may not ever reach the ambisexuality of Left Hand of Darkness, but I think those who are teens and younger today will wonder what all the fuss was about when it comes to who loves who and what they wear while they're doing it.

I will bet the entire contents of my pockets, minus my inhaler (pen, glitter marker, cough drops, name brand not store brand, Kleenex, random sales tag) that the day after Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday, these same moms will be doing battle at their local Macy's for all those sweet sweet deals.

I was intrigued by "shimmering gold ball gown" and had to Google "Alex Newell Tonys 2023". It's a heckuva gown!

I’ve always made it a tradition to do my yearly ironing while watching the MTDP. Bring it on!

Before this I didn't watch and couldn't have cared less about the parade. Now I'm all in. Thanks Monica!

I wouldn't miss the parade! Actually saw it live and in person once, so much fun!

I have a question: just how old IS Monica's precious son by now? She's been working this schtick for 20 years now.

Five bucks says she knows her kid or kids is/are gay and can't deal with it so she's projecting.

No love for Fun Home? An 18 month run on Broadway ain't exactly in Phantom territory, and I doubt Andrew Lloyd Webber sits up at nights worrying about Alison Bechdel knocking him off his perch, but the first Broadway musical featuring an out lesbian protagonist surely has earned some recognition, even if is only to be denounced by Our Lady of the Imaginary Sorrows and her invisible horde.

Oh! I love Fun Home. Was specifically just listing major shows with drag, gender nonconforming roles.

Gay and trans and non binary people on Broadway. Next the Moms for Naziism are gonna go after fashion. Spoiler alert: some of them designer fellas might not be into ladyparts! The HORROR!

“First of all, non-binary and transgender extravaganza sounds like a fantastic time and a party I would hope to be invited to.”

Where does one RSVP for this mah-velous soirée?
