I suppose the headline of this article should actually read, “Will LOGO ban RuPauls drag race?” Then, all of those who truly understand the dynamics of the situation at hand could answer, “Probably not. But they most certainly should.” For some of us, the question is, “Why is it unlikely that LOGO will separate from him?” Let’s face it, money and power breeds privilege. When segments within minority groups begin to gain privilege, the struggles of others might not seem very important. Those (now) privileged minorities, in a continuing cycle of oppression, may begin to oppress other minorities. Being aware of this tenancy, when I first heard that LOGO dropped the RuPaul’s “Shemale” game I clapped for joy. I thought that LOGO actually cared about trans people and wouldn’t stand for more callousness coming from RuPaul. Yet, it was only a matter of time before RuPaul took up the cross

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“Should LOGO pull RuPauls drag race?” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to race and intersectionality, while also engaging transgender identity and history. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.

Historical significance

As a publication record from 2014 at Transadvocate.com, “Should LOGO pull RuPauls drag race?” provides dated evidence of how race and intersectionality was being argued in relation to transgender identity and history. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.

Policy significance

No dominant policy frame was detected in “Should LOGO pull RuPauls drag race?.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of race and intersectionality may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
