Drag Queen Sings Amazing Protest Anthem Against Russian President Vladimir Putin in Amsterdam: VIDEO

Drag queen Dolly Bellefleur had a massive crowd cheering in Amsterdam with a rollicking anthem about Russia's oppression of LGBT people during a protest yesterday timed to coincide with President Vladimir Putin's visit to the city.

Check it out, AFTER THE JUMP...

Some of the lyrics:

There lives an evil man in Russia nowadays
He supports a law against lesbians and gays
Most people look at him with terror and with fear
Cause he pulls the strings like a wicked puppeteer
It's distressing how he is suppressing homosexuality
In the name of love we are protesting: Set our sisters free.
Stop stop stop Putin - Drop your law at the Kremlin - Love is no crime it's not a disease
Stop stop stop Putin - Your plans are so poisoning - For all the Russian LGBTs.

Transsexual Actress Calpernia Addams and Drag Race Star Shangela Light Up New Facebook Home Ad: VIDEO

Transsexual actress and activist Calpernia Addams (below) wrote to alert us to a new ad for Facebook's new 'Home' launcher app in which she and RuPaul's Drag Race star Shangela are featured.

Here's the synopsis of the ad:

A boring business trip gets a lot less boring, when Facebook Home brings a guy's friends on the journey with him. And all it takes is a few glances to reveal that his life isn't as conservative as his khakis.

Mark Zuckerberg featured the ad in his keynote this week, Calpernia tells us, and the ad makes Facebook one of the few companies to feature a trans actress in a commercial in a positive light.

UPDATE: Business Insider reports that the ad is receiving "a wave of negative reaction":

The ad's intent seems to be to show that having Facebook Home means that no matter where you are, you'll get all the wonderful, unadulterated weirdness of Facebook. But it also gives the odd impression that Facebook Home will turn your life into a visual clown car, with an endless stream of trivia spewing randomly from your phone.

The ad was created by agency Wieden + Kennedy, which also did "Chairs." Facebook spends very little money on TV advertising — why should it, it's owns its own audience of 1 billion people after all — and thus needs its ads to go viral in free online video media. Ads generally don't go viral unless they're very unusual. So what's happening here is that Facebook is being deliberately weird in order to get your attention.

Homophobes Raise Stink About Drag Show in Wisconsin So Dan Savage Ensures it Sells Out: VIDEO

The University of Wisconsin Fox Valley is holding a drag show tonight featuring Shangela from RuPaul's Drag Race and local homophobes are raising a major stink about it, John Becker reports.

So much so that their bigotry is getting covered by the local news.

When Becker posted about it on Facebook it caught the attention of Dan Savage, who reportedly helped the show sell out by purchasing all the remaining tickets and donate them to the school to give away to students and community members.
