In a stunning turn of events that has left the devout bewildered and the drag community gagging (in a good way!), Pastor Ezekiel Righteous, a fire-and-brimstone preacher known for his staunch condemnation of ‘the sin of sparkle,’ has debuted his own dazzling drag persona: ‘Mother RuPaul-ina’ – a name that's apparently less about religious reverence and more about a 'fierce' appreciation for the 'RuPaul's Drag Race' legacy.

Pastor Righteous, whose recent sermon vehemently denounced drag performances as an 'abomination,' now finds himself headlining a sold-out nationwide drag tour titled 'Repent, Sweetie: A Journey of Self-Discovery (and Glitter).' The tour features dazzling costumes, lip-sync battles to Dolly Parton anthems, and a surprisingly poignant monologue about finding inner peace through self-expression, ending with a powerful message of love, acceptance...and the importance of good contouring.

Critics are, predictably, having a meltdown. One prominent anti-LGBTQ+ activist was quoted as saying, "It's a travesty! A betrayal of God’s word! Although, I must admit, her lip-sync to '9 to 5' was quite impressive." Another declared, "It's like watching a conservative politician secretly attending a Pride parade…and winning the best-dressed award."

Meanwhile, the drag community is celebrating this unexpected ally. "Bless his cotton socks," says one queen, "He's serving face, truth, and a whole lot of unexpected theological commentary during the intermission." Rumours are already circulating that the next tour will feature a gospel-infused drag show with a full choir, accompanied by a live organist playing a medley of Kirk Franklin and Whitney Houston.

This unexpected twist is further proof that the lines of morality, religion, and sequins are blurring faster than a poorly applied foundation. What will the good Pastor Ezekiel/Mother RuPaul-ina reveal next? Only time – and a fabulous pair of heels – will tell.
