Stores like Walmart are ran by corporations, and corporate greed. They have no choice but to be open, drag queens perform at their own free will. Not the same thing 😩 They don't work out of "free will" they work because they have bills to pay. Just like all of us except they are not eligible for unemployment benefits.

LaLuna 12,732 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm gonna have to go with Farrah on this one. Has Trinity already spent all the money she's made since winning All Stars? Maybe she's living above her means? ALL drag queens have been affected by the pandemic, they've ALL worked hard to get where they are, and we've ALL had to make sacrifices, you're not special Trinity. Not a good look. Plus the fact that she blocked Farrah... I didn't think she'd be so damn petty and stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go. But if there are people willing to go and these drag queen have to make money to survive then they should be allowed to work. What are you 15 and live with your parents? Renters protections expired. Foreclosure protections expired. Drag queens do not qualify for unemployment and if you don't make income you don't qualify for Obamacare. So you don't have health insurance. Do you think Covid-19 is the only disease out there. Their fates are literally in the hands of a Republican controlled congress if they don't work.

Right... but going to a mask-free packed club doesn’t just affect those who go. It has extreme negative externalities, especially considering LA County has ZERO available hospital beds... People will die because selfish people choose to go party. Meanwhile, Trinity is going under the knife to pay for cosmetic surgeries. And has tons of other avenues for income. Plus there are countless other queens doing gigs safely and not attaching their name to a flyer to pack a nightclub. Listen, we’ve all struggled to make ends meet during this pandemic. But most of us aren’t actively making it worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatican 4,046 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Trinity is rich, so her argument is not coming across well at all, but she does have a point. People can't stay home forever. I think some of the people in this thread are in countries outside the USA that handled the pandemic better from a containment and economic perspective.

Then a drag queen should be able to work. Oh yeah I totally forgot that drag queens aren’t able to get jobs outside of drag shows. It’s not like, you know, they can get a job doing something else, like literally any other job. And it’s totally not like they have hundreds of thousand- if not millions- of followers on social media that they can advertise to. You’re totally right. We should risk people’s lives just to pay our bills. /s 🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawsUpJago 1,956 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I always found Trinity so off-putting as a person and this definitely just more than confirms why Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she safer being in constant contact with people as a cashier? Are the people shopping any safer going to Walmart or Target not following distance guidelines while shopping or at the check out line or eating out at a packed Denny's in booths that are way to close together with no masks because how do you eat with a mask than they are at a nightclub or venue watching a drag show?
