Me watching these str8 people str8 peopling…and bold as brass with it too. In full colour right on my tv.
On Network Television!!!
It’s unnatural. I’m definitely voting no when it comes time for their plebiscite.

It could be because I am coming down a scoche or just hungover and fatigued post MG/World Pride…..but I kind of feel like taking straight people on TV to the ICC at The Hague.
Surely this is war crimes.

……Also trust you to perform your final swan song at the climax of World Pride.
I can’t think of anything more heavenly.
Showstopping, scene stealing and too bloody triiiiiiick.
❤️ you #GeorginaBeyer
You stood tall and performed the tits off of ‘The Greatest Love’ of all and I struggle to think of anything more appropriate.
The measure of a life well lived is the impact and change you make, the people you touched, and the ones that love you deeply.

…straight after your miraculous transplant gave you more time, more moments, and more magic.
You were frail in body but by god were you formidable and inspirational in mind, wit, and wairua.

..pulled me by my ear into the Californian to eat chips because “no one wants to see a mangy giraffe cracking it on the rohe.”
And lastly, the incredible honour of doing your makeup for the Auckland Pride Gala,..

& without hiding or denying any of the raw & real path that led you there.
As a very very messy baby drag queen in Sydney who hadn’t slept or eaten in lord knows how long. You & Carmen Rupe, with all the unwavering firm, no nonsense (but cheeky) compassion of true kuia…

I will just say three moments, featuring her inimitable flair & fire, that had a profound impact on me.
As a child I saw you kick down doors into the establishment and systems of power and government. Doors that had never been open before, and are rarely open now….

What to say about such a trailblazing, fabulous, empathetic, fascinating wahine toa on her passing.
I’m not sure there are enough superlatives or evocative phrasing to do #GeorginaBeyer and her extraordinary and tenacious life justice.
