When straight stars play for gays it’s considered daring: Prince Poppycock

But when gays perform for gays it's a 'sodomite Bacchanalia'

Prince Poppycock performed in Vancouver on Saturday, Nov 19, and Xtra was there for a backstage interview.

Poppycock, who made headlines as a rising star on last season’s America’s Got Talent, welcomes recent news of AGT judge Piers Morgan’s planned departure.

“His role on the show was just to incite controversy and to lash contestants with his caustic tongue,” Poppycock says. “He is not qualified to judge talent at all.”
