Devastated 💔 I introduced Lily onto the 2 Brewers stage at 18/19 years old. Then shared stages with her. We did backing for Boy George at London Pride. Paul O’Grady was responsible for the best nights out & the worst hangovers. Honoured I could call him a friend ❤️🤩❤️
Oh. And then I receive a message from someone I assume was at one of my gigs today & possibly took offence at my fan. Well he first needs to learn to spell & then fuc* off. Especially if he’s a gay Tory 🤬
This? Oh it’s just me standing in front of 55,000 people delivering the

film & message before Kylie came on & slayed! I have NEVER been prouder & happier of being Lola & using my stage as a platform. Thank you Brighton 😊❤️🏳️🌈

Anne Widdecombe was the only person nobody wanted to see on
@bbcstrictly
& I’m still fuming that panto companies hired her to work in an industry filled with people whose lives she openly & continues to criticise for their sex, colour & gender. She’s a bigot. No more. No less.
25 years ago today when David Copeland bombed the Admiral Duncan injured 79 people & killed John Light, Nik Moore, Andrea Dykes & her unborn child.
We will never forget & always stand against hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community
This is
@czmanchester
at around 6pm today & the 3rd time in less than 6 weeks. HOMOPHOBIC. TARGETED. THIS HAS TO STOP! Be safe & vigilant. We need a better police presence in the Village but the Tories have put paid to that. I’m hoping
@AndyBurnhamGM
can change things 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This is Alan Turing. He’s so bloody famous & important to the UK’s LGBTQ+ community that he has a statue in the middle of Manchester LGBTQ+ village. Just thought I’d tell people this 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️

So last night this happened. I hope I’ve locked my account down enough so only nice people will see this. But people need to see this because GC’s are determined to attack anything they don’t like regardless of how innocuous your actions may be.

Last night at

was everything it should have been. We honoured Miss Jason with song, laughter & many shots. An honour, privilege & joy to be on that stage yesterday ❤️
Thank you to Jimmy & the team,

& the wonderful audience ❤️❤️
I’m so mad. This is happening across our LGBTQ+ community in the UK & the world.
Please
@AndyBurnhamGM
read this & acknowledge what is happening. Manchester is a magnificent city. This blots that. It also continues to make the UK look unsafe for LGBTQ+ people 🤬💔🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
If you’ve ever been to a quiz that I host & ever wondered why there’s never 1 HP related question, never mind a round, this is why.
The same applies to why you’ll never get a Father Ted question or round either

Hospitality is suffering enough with curfews, & very little support from the government, so it doesn’t need idiots who can’t follow simple rules. The rules suck but they’re there for us all. So please just do as you’re asked or I’ll have to tell you & allegedly ruin your night 🙄
Couldn’t give a rats arse about Hancock cheating. But the inevitable sweeping under the carpet by Bo-Jo & the fact that Tory voters will still support this lying, incompetent government boils my piss. Not one of them is fit for purpose 😡

I’m 54 in 10 days time & have been called every slur under the sun. But today someone on here, another person who identifies as LGBTQ, suggested that I, & others not getting enraged by Jake Daniel’s pvt life (sic) should be on the sex offenders register. They are now blocked 1/3
I’ve been on the LGBTQ+ scene since I was 17 years old. Over 35 years I have always fought against any form of hatred against our community & will continue to do so. The Trans community are no threat to anyone ❤️🏳️⚧️

Paul could play drunk beautifully. Saw it in the clubs, stage, tv & on This Morning doing wine tasting. But when he was actually drunk on tv & rowing with Murphy it was beautiful ❤️🤣
Paul O’Grady. One year today
One of the most generous fun people you could ever hope to meet.
He really was taken too soon with everything he had to offer about life.
The wisest head. The wickedest sense of humour. The compassion.
One of a kind & I’m so glad that I knew him ❤️
Today we remember the 79 people who were injured & the 3 people who died - Andrea Dykes, Nick Moore & John Light - when the
@admiral_duncan
was bombed 21 years ago. This was hate crime at its most horrific. We will never forget & we stand resilient as an LGBTQ+ community ❤️🏳️🌈
The best thing about Paul was that he NEVER forgot where he came from. Personally & professionally. If he could have a chat, coffee, drink with you he would. And the work he did during the AIDS crisis is unparalleled ❤️
Hello! I’m Lola Lasagne & I’m NOT one of the 10 queens announced for Season 1 of Rupaul’s Drag Race UK BUT I will be on stage at midnight at

tonight. So come & join me for songs, laughs & to see if I’m bitter about not being on the telly in October 😉😘
Not enough superlatives about
@MaryPoppins
- saw this 3 times on Broadway but never here. This is a superb return. All the cast & crew should be so proud. Proper Disney magic & choreographical excellence. And this 50 year old queen cried 6 times 😊❤️ GO & SEE IT!
Moved to Manchester on Friday & my first gig is at
@EagleManchester
today for Sunday Service. Join me, KY Kelly & DJ Daddy from 4pm. Members only. Looking forward to seeing you all 🤩
Thinking of Andrea Dykes, Nick Moore & John Light, who lost their lives & the 79 people injured by the bombing of the Admiral Duncan, on this day in 1999.
David Copeland attacked a community but that community stood tall, proud & resilient.

In my opinion one of the best things Paul / Lily did. Shanghai Lil from The Lily Savage Show - hysterically funny & every person in the sketch a friend of Paul’s which showed how loved & respected he was 🤩❤️

to tell us what really happened on the runway & when she left it. Just saying 🤷♂️
I’m just glad that she was there cause the last 4 weeks have been fun & I adore her ❤️
A Christmas message from a queen to you all. Thank you for all the support you’ve shown me & I hope you have the merriest of Christmases in some way 😊❤️

@BoyzMagazine
for this ‘Outstanding Contribution’ award. I’m totally chuffed to bits 😊❤️ And yes I am sat on the floor of my train of shame home 😂
I truly love my job. But the travelling, getting to a city hours before the gig, to relax, get food, get ready & being in a city where you know so many but are sat alone is fucking horrid sometimes.
The wine is lush though 😋
Wowzers! What an opening. Pun intended 😉

I got to be Lola today & it was bloody lovely. Even if every part of my body now hurts cause I’m out of practise wearing drag 😂 Full details why I was Lola today will be posted tomorrow 😊❤️
Today Rishi Sunak made a trans joke whilst Esther Ghey was attending PMQ’s
Yesterday Liz Truss said that those who support LGBT people & groups of ethnic minorities are ‘left wing extremists’
GET THIS TORY SCUM OUT 🤬🤬
Rishi Sunak attempts to attack Sir Keir Starmer over how Labour 'defines a woman' as the mum of Brianna Ghey, a trans teenager who was murdered, was sat in the Commons listening to prime minister's questions
A shocked Sir Keir replies: 'Of all the weeks to say that... Shame'
Because I don’t agree with your opinions. And once again you don’t have to like Jake & Mark’s relationship at all, but let Jake find his own way. I’m sure whatever happens he has a strong network of family, friends & colleagues rather than people on Twitter for support 3/3
Went back to the gym in March. A false start as I needed knee physio. But now, with the help of training, I’ve lost just over a stone & 1 & a half inches off my belly. Slow but sure results & I’m chuffed 😊

No event for 2 years & yet I’m still the ONLY drag queen they can get out of their bed at 7am 👀🤣
This fucking woman! 😡 In 2016 my panto company told me that they nearly signed her for the panto I was in. I told them that I would have withdrawn had she been cast. That view still stands. The only dinosaur I’d work with is Barney

17 years ago we said goodbye to Her Imperial Highness Regina Fong. She was unique on stage & off. She was a drag sister (she’d have fucking HATED Drag Race 😂) & she was my friend. I miss her so much but think about her all the time. JUNGLE RED! ❤️
I adore
@thervt
- the audience get it. Who you are. Why you’re there.
It’s been that way all my gay life & I’m SO proud to be a part of the RVT family, especially on a Sunday. Tonight I paid tribute to Sondheim & celebrated WAD. And sang ‘Love Is In The Air’ for the last time 🤣
Bizarrely the
