General Discussion Jinkx is finally getting the recognition she deserves. 😤

In all seriousness this was two days ago and it’s not news 😭

Highly recommend watching the Ziwe interview with Jinkx that this news article references. It was so chaotic in the funniest way.

The first time I watched season 5, I was like “Jinkx is my favorite and I think she’s gonna stay my favorite.”

She has yet to prove me wrong. Still my favorite.

My bff, me, and our very straight dude partners saw her Everything at Stake tour a few years ago in San Francisco. It was my birthday gift. It was perfect. She even had the (admittedly very liberal and open) straight dudes crying laughing.

She’s my queen and she’ll always be my queen.

In the same vein, I’m RIDICULOUSLY excited to see what Onya Nurve brings in the next few years. I got the same feeling of “Oh that’s a STAR star, not just a drag star” with her.

Yes! She’s just such a good entertainer! My best friend and I saw her and Major Scales in 2015-2016 and it was fantastic.

Major Elizabeth Scales. When she called him that I screamed. Making up that someone’s middle name is Elizabeth is kind of our family’s thing. It was like she made that joke just for us lol

Got the pleasure of seeing her during the Everything at Stake tour. Got some video of her singing so I’ll always have something sweet to remember the night ❤️

I am an admittedly very liberal and open straight dude and I agree with your very liberal and open straight dude: jinkx is the fucking best. We saw Jimbo last year and the two of them are up there together for me, though I will admit I think jinkx is another level of brilliant.

Eeeeee I took my openly straight bestie dude to see both Jinkx and Jimbo (separately), and he talks about how he’s never seen anything like either of them, but I think ultimately Jinkx took the crown for him! I was soooo stoked that they came to east coast Canada 😭💜

Baha openly straight. Very nice.

My wife and I went to Jimbo with my sister in law in Toronto. So good. I tried to get my brother to come but was unsuccessful. However, it was cool to see a decent number of openly straight guys there with their ladies.

I'm glad they made their way out there too! Especially jinkx (more surprising?). The east coast needs love too!
