Written on the back of her jacket in bold font were the words, “Black Drag Queens Inventend [sic] Camp.” - NBCOUT

Designer Kerby Jean-Raymond and Lena Waithe attend The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "Camp: Notes on Fashion" exhibition on May 6, 2019, in New York.. But actress and producer Lena Waithe stood out among a sea of glitter and feathers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual fundraiser with her statement-making attire.

From the front, Waithe’s pin-striped pantsuit looked deceptively simple. Yet a closer look revealed the buttons were actually the faces of black"camp" pioneers, and the stripes were lyrics from Diana Ross’ “I’m Coming Out,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and other anthems from iconic black divas. Written on the back of her jacket in bold font were the words, “Black Drag Queens Inventend [sic] Camp.”

NBCOUT And not spelled correctly

NBCOUT It's a nomme. The words Drag Queen are from long ago, days gone. They're not Queens. They're homosexual men that like dressing up like women. MSM has hyped their existence. There's nothing THAT special about them. Please. What a bunch of balogne.

NBCOUT What percentage of Americans do you think actually care about whatever it is you are babbling about. 1%? 0.5%? 0.01%?

NBCOUT

NBCOUT And every average everyday hard working American does not care
