![]() Motorkat’s Drag Brunch Evacuated After Bomb Threat Riffing on everything from Brokeback Mountain and The Princess Diaries, to anal bleaching and Subaru lesbians, the jokes reflect the show’s queer sensibility while taking aim at queer faves. Rogers got to fill out this colorful character - “drag queen by day, master of disguise by night.” And, as part of the majority LGBTQ+ writers’ room, he could address queerphobia and discrimination “in a way that doesn’t take itself too seriously.” In fact, over the course of its ten-episode season, Q-Force develops an incisive, resonant story of queer liberation, mixed with action, R-rated language, sex, camp, saucy humor, and lots of naked swinging dicks.
