Priscilla - Queen(s) of the Desert

14 years ago

3 young gay Kuwaiti's had me in stiches on the 999 bus this morning - proving that there are some aspects of life that remain constant - regardless of the culture or the environment.

I am probably less homophobic than most as I have a brother in Cape Town that is openly gay and have attended the annual Mother City Queer Project a few times. I.e. Run around in an all night rave in the Cape Town castle wearing blue feather armbands and a loin cloth and you soon lose all phobia's lol (the theme was 'Camp' Safari so we went as Bitch Doctors ..)

Anyway - I had these guys camping and primping for attention and the rest of the bus was either horrified or trying xtremely hard to ignore the antiics of these guys. The body moves, expressions and quick retorts were exaclty like any young queens anywhere else on the planet and they were a simple joy on a bus full of surly workers.
It ended with me having to tell them which was the prettiest and then they swung off the bus blowing kisses at all and generally ignoring peoples reactions in a bid to outdo one another ...

Way to go Kuwait .... you made me smile today !
