I didn't think her comment was that bad tbh. Drag queens dress in costume, clowns dress in costume, the comparison is that some people do have a fear of clowns (regardless of that being irrational) and I think India was just trying to highlight how seeing drag queens makes her feel, and based on what she's said when she's talked about drag queens before, it's to do with her not wanting to be compared to them... there isn't a comparison between drag queens and transsexuals yet people often make them, so seeing drag queens might make her uncomfortable because of that, even if it is irrational... like a fear of clowns. I can see why what she said might have seemed insensitive but that's my take on where she's coming from anyway.
What will really be telling is how she treats a drag queen on a personal level, how she behaves with Courtney and if she dismisses her or treats her with respect.

You would think given her own demands she would be a trifle more tolerant of others wishing to be individuals

Yeah definitely I just didn't view it as intolerance towards drag queens tbh, I think it's about not wanting to be compared to them by other people, and when she sees drag queens she's reminded of those comparisons, which she can't really help. I don't know what's going on in her head I'm just assuming because she's talked a bit about that before in relation to drag queens. What she can help is how she treats them on a personal level which is why I say it'll be telling how she treats Courtney, and if it is actually intolerance or not.

I'm the daughter of a Drag Queen & after seeing how India treated Amanda for a simple slip up, she should show no intentional prejudice against any person.
She came across as a hypocrite last night. I can only imagine the outrage if somebody in there had said this about transgender people.

Pretty much what I came in to say. Except my Dad's not a Drag Queen, obviously.
