Since I was a kid I watched Flip. I would be on the floor when he added that little fast footed soul dance and slipped into the cash register station. The Lord sent us a wonderfully funny man that helped to sooth our ales. One skit was where Gene Wilder and Flip, reversed roll's, and Gene acted soulful, and Flip acted like a white guy. I laughed my butt off!! It showed how we can laugh at each other and it be ok. Whilst cleverly showing that when people get vicious, is when its not ok! I choose laughter! Thank you for loaning him to us! I love that man! Ciao! God bless!!

As a gay guy, when I see actors on comedy shows or in movies in cheap-looking “drag”, doing a funny role, it immediately feels like comedy, like Mrs. Doubtfire, To Wong Foo, Some Like it Hot, etc., and I’m not saying those looks were CHEAP to pull off back then. But they look half-assed or even haphazard for a reason-because it is known that it’s all a JOKE. The audience knew the actors were straight. For some reason, for many viewers not of the LGBT+, seeing a gay or trans queen feels either way too real, brutally honest, too politically confronting, or all three. I’m not speaking for everyone, of course. Just saying. It’s clear what’s accepted by the masses & what’s not… at the same time, certain venues and entertainment options are targeted more TOWARDS certain audiences, anyway. For example, Drag Race is watchable by anyone & includes straight people on nearly every single episode, from judges to coaches, and a lot of the crew behind the camera. But shows like Drag Race, or live drag shows at gay bars, are really part of the fabric of the gay community, and are going to feature much more gay “lingo” & gay “talk” that the average person may not get. And that can put ignorant ppl off.

Yeah, it was comedy back then, and still is. But it was more accepted likely because it was KNOWN that Flip was straight… kind of like “To Wong Foo”, with Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo and Wesley Snipes in drag… that’s a beloved movie and everyone knows the guys are straight. It becomes 10x more political & somehow “real” if a gay drag queen or a trans female queen is performing-Cause they’re IN this community, on the front lines. A straight actor in cheap drag being paid on a big tv show to be funny is always going to be more acceptable, and entertaining, to the masses, than a gay or trans queen trying to make ends meet, actually working as a performer or entertainer. Even today. And we have big names now, besides Ru, there’s Bianca, Trixie, Katya, Willam, the list goes on. But for some reason, the comedy hits differently for viewers when the person behind the costume is hetero. Then it’s almost like, more “acceptable”, as if it’s just a man who’s intentionally making a fool of himself to entertain the viewers.. with actual gay drag queens, trans queens, plus the drag kings, trans kings, etc., it’s like there’s something too real about it for the uninformed. Most people really don’t care and can get into it. Most people know some LGBT+ individuals. But I think the comedic effect is different… as a gay guy, I definitely see straight male actors in “drag” as purposely being a joke. It’s comedic drag, not high-fashion, not “daytime”, not “realness” drag. I think when the queens look the part, and men viewing it find themselves questioning things inside, it becomes an external issue to cover that up. Lol. And Flip Wilson as Geraldine reminds me of Tracey Morgan in drag, as Della Reese’s Tess from "Touched by an Angel", on SNL. I think the difference with things today like "RuPaul's Drag Race" (to the general public), and the majority of drag culture, is that it’s largely gay culture. And haters have a field day with that, causing it to become a legal battle, banning gay brunches at bars (private businesses), and banning drag shows (21+ events mostly)…
