Yes, they all died, a sort of mini mass die-off complete with press-on nails and hair extensions.

I had a streaming service that had Ru Paul's show. Is Ru Paul the guy (yes, woke world, it was a man) who died? The title is ridiculous as is the article.

Did the man who was pictured on the ad die?

Just trying to understand the article.

And here I thought the guy was killed when his AA Fuel Dragster crashed and burned.

A young man of 32 trying to pass himself off as a woman, who had been on RuPaul’s show, has died. We don’t know of what. AIDS seems not unlikely.

The real murder here is of the language, with the misuse of pronouns making so much of what the woke Left puts out incomprehensible gobbletygook.

Do people still die of AIDS?
