'We are the fullest expressions of who we were born to be.'
makes for the perfect "Pride hangover," as Zane puts it: "The show contains important stuff so you're like, 'I feel good about watching this.' But also, it's not going to make your head hurt."
Chad overcompensates a lot. He's gay, and he's proud of being gay to some degree, but he's also insecure when it comes to embracing femininity and queerness in relation to that overt kind of masculinity he strives for physically. Chad is a total body fascist. So we've got to live up to that. It's not going to make sense if he's not that sort of ideal vision that certain people have.
When we as queer people watch queer media, there's this sixth sense. We know whether something is written for us, or whether it's written through the heteronormative gaze. You can't get away from it. It's hard because even if something does reach beyond that, we've gotten to the point where we're so cynical.
What's really cool is that yes, Kim is an icon, and the character Madolyn within the show is an icon, so we got to channel a lot of that. When Kim walks into a room, she commands respect, and you can't help but just be like, "Yes, you are my queen." I grew up in conservative Texas, so there wasn't a lot of queer media that I could have watched with my parents. I do remember like, maybe likeAmerica's Next Top ModelSuddenly, I feel like I was seeing truly the fullest expression of who queer people are, like Miss J. Sure, the show was problematic and it was during the heyday of reality TV, so it's not exactly high art, but there was such creativity and such emotional openness throughout this whole experience.
