The Litmus Test For LGBTQ Power \u2013 Drag Queen VS Elitist<\/h1>\n

Schiff could be in trouble with this Girl \u2013 just not in a #MeToo way.<\/em><\/h3>\n

When the earth tilts on its axis a bit too far to the left, Karma and her bitchy sister Justice throw a cocktail party and invite conservatives to indulge in a bit of hope while bearing the extremes the bizarro-world has thrust upon them of late. \u00a0In a brash and sassy move this week, Silver Lake Neighborhood Councilperson Maebe A. Girl \u2013 yes, that\u2019s her drag queen name and elected office \u00a0\u2013 has thrown her tiara into the 2020 congressional race with glittery hopes and unicorn dreams of\u00a0unseating<\/a>\u00a0Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from his lofty perch.<\/p>\n

I kid you not.\u00a0 And yes, the party is in full swing.<\/p>\n

Maebe A. Girl<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

From Obscurity To National News<\/h3>\n

Girl is the first elected trans official in the US and reigns over a respectable 31,603 constituents with a laundry list of other elected coffee shop dwellers \u2013 21 members in all \u2014 in the Los Angeles neighborhood.\u00a0 She first took office in April 2019 but the call to greater heights in ivory halls has prompted her to challenge her own incumbent congressman.\u00a0 It\u2019s partly because she believes \u201cWhen we think about politicians, what do we think about? We think about old white guys in suits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admittedly, that does describe\u00a0Schiff<\/a>\u00a0to a tee. Not so much Girl.\u00a0 She attends campaign functions in multi-colored lace-front wigs, gaily colored pantsuits, high, high heels, and a lot of pancake makeup with winged black eyeliner.\u00a0 She will stand out on the campaign trail:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really took a minute for people to take me seriously, to realize that I\u2019m not doing this as a stunt, I\u2019m not doing this as a statement. I\u2019m doing this to run an election and win it. Maebe A. Girl\u2019 is, yes, it\u2019s my stage name, but it\u2019s also part of my identity and who I am.\u00a0 I started realizing how much I enjoy being in drag and how, for me, it didn\u2019t feel like a costume. It just felt like a natural extension of myself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I for one cannot wait to see Schiff\u2019s \u201cnatural extension\u201d of himself in response. \u00a0A thinking person would surmise that Schiff really has no competition from the\u00a0drag queen<\/a>\u00a0but let\u2019s review the recent upsets in the Democratic Party:<\/p>\n
