Auntie Tom's in Pink-Face
» Mélange
From a review of GayCo Productions’ gay-themed sketch comedy:
There is one moment of absolute genius, however, in which a group of effeminate queens who might represent anyone from Queer Eye’s Fab Five to Will Truman put on “pinkface” and perform a gay minstrel show. Much as the black minstrel shows of old assured white audiences that they had nothing to fear from the subservient African-Americans, this sendup of pop culture homos assures straight audiences that gay people are completely harmless, and certainly don’t want any civil rights.
