Is RuPaul’s Drag Race dangerous for public consumption? Will a person turn gay overnight after watching just one episode of the show?



These are the questions currently on the mind of a Singaporean lawmaker.

Nee Soon GRC member of parliament Er. Dr. Lee Bee Wah is scheduled to debate about America's Next Drag Superstar in Singapore's august house on January 15.



And no, she does not have any favourites.

Based on an order paper, Lee will be expecting written replies from Singapore's Communications and Information Minister S Iswaran to her following questions:

Whether the Ministry has received objections to the performance of the RuPauls' Drag Race show in Singapore What are the criteria for approving such performances? How does the Ministry deal with approval and censorship of performances dealing with LGBT issues? How is the age restriction for the audience determined for such shows?

Lee probably might consider her questions timely because celebrity contestants of the Emmy-winning reality TV series such as Bianca Del Rio and Sasha Velour have visited local fans here in recent years.

The tour for the show will also be held in Singapore next month for the first time and it'll feature some sassy performances from all the queens from Season 10.

Lee is known to be pretty vocal when it comes to same sex relationships in the tiny Southeast Asian nation.

Just last month, Lee had allegedly walked out after unable to field questions from a pro-LGBTQ movement.

A representative from Singapore's Ready4Repeal movement, Edward Foo, had paid Lee a visit during a Meet The People Session in Yishun on December 3, 2018.

Edward had brought along a petition which contained 859 signatures from residents in Lee's constituency who supported the call to repeal Section 377A of Singapore's Penal Code.

The colonial-era law, considered draconian by some, criminalizes homosexual persons. Lee apparently decided to walk out.

Whether Lee sissied that walk it is unclear but one thing is certain though, Sister Flower certainly needs to smell the roses more.
