“I actually don’t have a problem with the RuPaul photo, although the teachers obviously meant to express homophobia. RuPaul IS a hero, to me. I admire RuPaul for her continually stated philosphy of self-acceptance. ‘If you can’t love yourself, how can you love anybody else?’ Gay kids can’t hear that enough.” – Popular blogger, Joe Jervis, writing about the controversy over three white elementary school teachers handing out photos of RuPaul, OJ Simpson, and Dennis Rodman as examples of African American role models for the children to carry during a parade marking Black History Month.
