Pakistani Drag Queen Defies U.S.

Lahore, Pakistan - "I'm a drag queen, darling...not an extremist...and I still say if Pakistanis had more self-respect, we'd be even more anti-American," says Ali Saleem, who glosses his lips and dons a sari each week to interview celebrities and politicians on his TV program Begum Nawazish Ali, a talk show sensation in Pakistan. "I'm not speaking religion; it's common sense."

Not every drag queen has the guts to have their own tv show. I had a live one in Los Angeles for two years. Gained lots of straight fans but few gay ones. I learned gays don't support drag queens much especially Log Cabin Republicans so I struck on my own without the LGBT blessing and now have fans worldwide. No one ghettoizes me, I fly solo...

Jury is right what about those nations who are not as old as us but progressed more in evrey field even look at bangladesh look at india look at china look at israel look at Iran i think the problem with us is we talk more and do little and spend our time in talking bullshit first of all our country needs education and than law and order we cant blame politicians as well in the end we select them and give them chance so we had to be care full who we r selecting we must take it

I do not think this dude rules, obnoxious towards guests. But things are changing which is good, I am openly gay myself but I tend to treat others with respect and dignity. They should get a different host for the show. I am sure there are lots of good talent in Pakistan ;-)

JuryDuty88 - if you were born in 88 then your moronic comments can be forgiven. If youre older than that, go read up on a little US foreign policy and history and politics of the subcontinent before making such naive comments.
