Reply to "Tammy Faye"

The Tammy Faye cult among the gay community illustrates perhaps better than anything how far queens will go in the worship of aesthetics. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone and confess to having an ongoing appreciation of her "camp" appeal, plucky spirit, shameless publicity-seeking and guts. I just think the adoration of her among fags is overrated. She is (was) not Dolly Parton, kids. More like Imelda Marcos. She and her husband orchestrated one of the biggest frauds in U.S. history and might still be doing so had it not been for church ho Jessica Hahn. Of course anyone stupid enough to fall for the PTL Club arguably deserved to get swindled! And yes, she has always displayed some level of gay acceptance, as does her hot Brooklyn preacher son. But still ...

That said, I'll miss her. She was an original.
