Pro-Palestine ‘Drag Race’ Queens Outraged By Viral Image of Their Names On An IDF Missile

www.them.us Pro-Palestine ‘Drag Race’ Queens Outraged By Viral Image of Their Names On An IDF Missile

“You reek of racism, anti-semitism and Islamophobia. Queer liberation involves liberation for all.”

Pro-Palestine Drag Race queens are speaking out about a viral image that appears to show their names written on an Israeli missile.

On Tuesday, Drag Race season 14 winner Willow Pill posted a screenshot to X of a viral photo that appears to show a missile with “IDF you better werk!” and “Queers against Hamas” written on it, as well as the names of New York drag legend Lady Bunny, Drag Race season 13 runner-up Kandy Muse, and Willow Pill. Each has been outspoken in their support of Palestine amidst Israel’s ongoing bombardment and siege of Gaza, and though the veracity of the photo is hard to determine, the queens posted their reactions to it on X.

“It’s so disappointing to see queer people and drag race fans who think they are good for supporting drag turn around and support the murder of Palestinian people with decorated missiles,” the season 14 queen tweeted. “If your goal was to agitate me; you got me. I’m fucking livid, and I hope you rot in hell.”

Never thought I'd see all these words in one sentence.
- and without a IDF soldier with a marker, you never would have.
  
  Not to mention that IDF soldier is probably some 20 year old.
- I had to reread it so many times
No doubt the Palestinians embrace their support wholeheartedly, and would love to thank them in person.
- Just because someone wants me dead doesn't mean everyone who shares their country should be genocided
- It's pretty disgusting if your opposition to ethnic cleansing is based on whether the people being killed are pro-LGBT or not.
  
  I support the people of North Korea and the Uighurs against their oppressors regardless of whether they're homophobes or not.
- So? Like half the redneck county I grew up in feels the same way about me as a queer trans man. I’d be a fucking psychopath if I though that meant bombing their kids was fine.
  
  Legitimate question, does queer trans man combine to mean you now identify as a man and prefer to date men?
- Yes, they are not very supportive of lgbtqi+ rights, we should kill the children.
  
  There could be secret Hamas tunnels under those children!
