See, it's different for him!
I'm not even joking. The hatred of drag queens is a totally different type of bigotry from the kind of bigotry of old school comedy drag.
See, drag queens are lesser because they're gay men dressing in an exaggeration of female standards, mimicking women that need to be kept in their place.
The kind of drag that he's connected to is making fun of women and saying that any man dressing as a woman must be hilarious because that would make them less manly, and thus it's funny instead of perverse.
Okay, maybe it isn't actually a different type of bigotry, but the kind of people that do that kind of drag really don't think of it as the same thing at all. Milton Berle in dress is hilarious; ru Paul in a dress is disgusting (in their minds). It comes down to ingrained misogyny as a core value. What? They didn't say that "family values" meant keeping women in their inferior place out loud? It's a core value of that entire way of thinking.
