"The Drag Queen Test" Explains Economic Growth, KY's Congress Does Overtime to Pass Hateful Bills, and More


Listen Later

We’re talking MONEY MONEY MONEY this Tuesday.

There’s Utah losing millions driving away the Sundance Film Festival with its dorky Pride flag ban, which limits what flags can be flown on state property (including public schools). Utah fucked around and found out that a film festival with historic ties to queer independent film doesn’t condone their nonsense. The more you know!

And someone needs to let Kentucky conservatives know, too, because they were working overtime last Friday night to pass two anti-trans bills just before midnight. They say it’s about “saving money,” but we know that’s not true.

Especially considering “The Drag Queen Test,” which explains how LGBTQIA+ friendly cities — specifically, ones with thriving drag scenes — have better economies. Like Vico said: we aren’t a big fan of monarchies but we will serve a drag queen and king! It’s giving abundance, it’s giving prosperity, it’s giving wealth, baby!
