2014 Drag Year In Review – September
Facebook comes for drag queens
There are some that say it wasn’t about drag queens, but for those affected, it seemed an awful lot like there was some motive behind the “Real Name Policy” and its attempt to give the queens whose names were ripped from Facebook and replace with unfamiliar names like Michael Williams (Sister Roma’s “Legal Name”). But you can’t come for queens without them letting you have it and that’s just what they did. Before we knew it, Sister Roma, Heklina and Lil’ Miss Hot Mess were at the Facebook offices and ready to march down the Facebook campus. Luckily talks prevented anything too bad from happening, but we were ready to march at every Facebook office in the country and even the world if necessary.
