Lady Bunny

I have a real soft spot for Lady Bunny, who carried Chattanooga grit all the way to founding Wigstock in New York. What I respect is that the wig and the wisecracks are never just decoration; underneath the outrageous humor is sharp social commentary about identity and freedom. As a drag queen, DJ, comedian and event organizer, she helped push a once-marginal culture into the cultural mainstream, and she did it by making people laugh first. Decades into the work she is still loud, still funny, still unapologetic. To me she is proof that comedy can be a serious instrument of change.
