queerlesque:

Two years after the launch of @rupaulsdragrace in the year 2009 we realized something similar in Germany in 2011! We produced a Trailer and a full episode by ourself ! Our concept was different and sooo funny ! We try to bring this idea to the production companies and TV stations but nobody had the balls to do it! I mean today the @rupaulbots are superstars all over the world but in #germany we have to watch them on @netflixde . That’s soooo stupid – this country isn’t anymore an innovative motor on TV since years! We are standing still. That’s ridiculous ! @sat.1 @rtlde @rtl2 @vox @wdr @arte.tv @rbbfernsehen @ardmediathek @zdfmediathek (hier: Berlin)

Gorey’s quirky & morbid works may have occasionally featured sexual themes, but he himself viewed his identity as a sexless one. 

In an interview, he was once asked about his sexuality and he responded: 

“I’m neither one thing nor the other particularly. I am fortunate in that I am apparently reasonably undersexed or something … I’ve never said that I was gay and I’ve never said that I wasn’t … what I’m trying to say is that I am a person before I am anything else …”
