He was saying that he wasn't overtly sexual and didn't act so much as a gay man in drag, but just as a glamorous woman. He was explaining that that decision made his persona palletable for anyone, not just people in the drag , gay, or club scene.

    Ru Paul NEEDS to do a DragRace style show with the Furry community. They are another group of people who are marginalised by society and told that their world is seedy and sexual when it’s not. Like drag it’s all about freeing your personality and, personal and community empowerment.

      Tina Tika if you think about costumes like those that sports mascots wear and like the ones you see in Japan at the Pokemon centres, that gets you thinking in the right direction. There is a growing community who combine cosplaying with the wearing of consumes based on animals and fictional creatures. Within this community it allows those who wear the “fursuits” to project the confidence that they don’t tend to have in their ‘real life’. The character they create and personify while wearing these ‘fursuits’ is called a ‘fursona’.
