Lady Bunny slams the idea of gays in the military

'Why are gays seeking the right to go and bully people?'

World-famous drag queen Lady Bunny came through Toronto recently and delivered a body slam to those gays wanting to serve in the military.

“If gays are against bullying and people with a brain are against bullying of any kids of any kind, why are gays seeking the right to go and bully people in a uniform?” she asks. “Because their skin is brown? Because they’re Muslim? I don’t approve of that.”

Below is a quick excerpt from our video interview with Lady Bunny. We will have more for you in the next week.

Lady Bunny was in Toronto for a promo to launch the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race on OUTtv. For more on Lady Bunny, click here.
