Glad that ‘Dame Edna’ was one of the good guys. Like Paul O’Gradys ‘Lily Savage’ his drag appeared to come from a place of love and empathy for women rather than mockery.
Thank you for telling us about this. Simple good sense and gratitude for a life well lived neither of which the Tras will ever be capable of understanding.
Barry Humphries -- what a gifted and great adult human male. And that's precisely what made Dame Edna so hilarious. Barry was a man. And his pretending to be woman was so funny. The absurdity of a man being a woman used to be comedic. Same with panto. The humour bubbled up from the absurdity. Now the authoritarian 'gender' cultists, who have thrown reality under the bus, punish the laughter, and insist on the Orwellian acceptance of the absurdity.
Thank you for sharing this Graham. What a sincere and warm email to have received which contrasts with the treatment of him from the organisers of that comedy festival. Ghastly virtue-signalling and ungrateful lot. He was not wrong about them all being malign at all.
What a special and clever man. Thank goodness for the wisdom of people such as Barry and Graham who will not be bullied by extremists, extremists who have an over inflated and misguided belief in themselves and who seek to destroy good people. Malignant indeed.
OMG I didn't know he had signed the letter! I loved him, I have very happy memories of laughing at Dame Edna with my late mother. Old school drag, same as Lily Savage, special place in my heart for these men. RIP, both.
I've been thinking about him recently, comparing him as Dame Edna with the horrible drag queen shit that's currently a Trojan horse here in Canada. I never felt belittled as a woman by anything he said. He was just funny as anything.
Just when I thought I couldn't have loved him more.

That has to be the most gracious and heartfelt tribute I’ve read today
What an absolute treasure
RIP possum

I'm not surprised, but really pleased to have the concrete evidence, in his e-mail to you, that he understood the issue perfectly.
That’s really heartwarming to know. Funny how Dane Edna wasn’t at all offensive to women just hilariously funny.

He was a great man and is a great loss. I’m so pleased to hear that he supported you.

Thank you for sharing this Glinner. You have cheered up one very very sad Aussie who grew up on Dame Edna
Wonderful. All one could hope for from the Valiant Dame Edna.

Thank you Graham, he was a great and funny man.
I always loved Barry's humor, sadly never realised he had been boycotted and banned for being such a hero. Big love and thanks Barry, a true star.
