From his site:
WHY CARLA ROSSI?
My performance work confronts white supremacy, complacency, and the confusion of "mixed" identities - of living in-between, particularly sexually and racially. I'm interested in the edge - that line between satire and sincerity, between critique and reification - as a site where transgression and transformation occur. That's why I'm drawn to drag as artwork. Drag often reinforces heterosexist projections of what makes a "woman," but - as theorist Judith Butler argues - it can also expose the cracks in binary sexism by blurring (or queering) gender. Queer drag exposes gender as a performed historical construction - a set of appropriated cues, images, or gestures that culturally signify masculine and feminine - rather than as a biological reality.
The character I play, Carla Rossi, started as an art project in 2010 and has since turned into a full-fledged persona, body of work, and occupation. I prefer the term "drag clown" over "drag queen" because I'm not trying to emulate women. I'm more interested in Coyote-style trickery similar to the clown’s objective - a clown says one thing while doing the opposite. In that same way I use Carla as a tool for critique. When I perform as her I wear whiteface in direct allusion to whiteness, clowning,

When Looking for Tiger Lily comes to the Talking Stick Festival, audiences will meet Carla Rossi, a drag clown in whiteface and a fright wig. But don’t be afraid: she’s a trickster, a storyteller, and the living, outsized embodiment of all the cultural collisions and identity crises two-spirit interdisciplinary artist Anthony Hudson has experienced. Carla is part coyote figure, part PowerPoint-wielding speaker, and much more.

Warning, people. That Instagram link had photos of actual child sexual abuse. The children are clothed but are standing next to nude men in drag, some of them wearing nothing more than glued on sequins on their genitalia and nothing more-nothing left to the imagination. One little prepubescent boy was kissing a grown man in drag on the lips. I'm utterly....horrified. No words that this is shamelessly being promoted. I have no words. I wish I could unsee this. I wish that these were fakes......
I want to cry...and I want these people jailed.

Yes this certainly is proof that the morals of our people are decaying bathe devil himself is at work here. The sad thing is that Rossi himself says he is confused as to who or what he is. Why in Heavens Name are these sickos glorifying a deeply mixed up
person that needs serious intervention and help. This is what will happen to all of Our Children that are right now being supported and encouraged to “find” their gender when some are only of kindergarten age. As sick as this is it is also very sad. Yes it sickened me too.

It's beyond decayed and yes, satan has so many people mesmerized. A Canadian hospital has now unveiled suicide plans for kids and they won't let the parents know until the child is dead.
I have a link to this and it is under the christianpost.com.

Oh my God. That is beyond evil. Post the link here and do a post on it. Really. Govt. supplying euthanasia for minors. Satanism at its worst.

Sure, here's the link. Haven't posted much and don't want to break the rules but will give it a shot.
