“No homo” is for dummies. Jay-Z doesn’t say “no homo” in interviews. But you can’t change people. When I’m walking in Rockaway Beach and pass an Irish and Italian pub and all of them say, “Hey, it’s RuPaul,” it’s because RuPaul is the only drag they know. Any transgender African American or Latino person could fucking walk by, and they’re going to call him RuPaul. Those people aren’t going to hang out with gay people anyway. I gain a lot of my strength from it. If you think I want acceptance so bad that I’m going to “bro down” with you, that’s never going to happen. You know why? Because I don’t like giving heterosexuals that much credit.”
