Pro-Palestine Drag Race queens are speaking out about a viral image that appears to show their names written on an Israeli missile.

On Tuesday, Drag Race season 14 winner Willow Pill posted a screenshot to X of a viral photo that appears to show a missile with “IDF you better werk!” and “Queers against Hamas” written on it, as well as the names of New York drag legend Lady Bunny, Drag Race season 13 runner-up Kandy Muse, and Willow Pill. Each has been outspoken in their support of Palestine amidst Israel’s ongoing bombardment and siege of Gaza, and though the veracity of the photo is hard to determine, the queens posted their reactions to it on X.

“It’s so disappointing to see queer people and drag race fans who think they are good for supporting drag turn around and support the murder of Palestinian people with decorated missiles,” the season 14 queen tweeted. “If your goal was to agitate me; you got me. I’m fucking livid, and I hope you rot in hell.”

      So? Like half the redneck county I grew up in feels the same way about me as a queer trans man. I’d be a fucking psychopath if I though that meant bombing their kids was fine.

      It’s pretty disgusting if your opposition to ethnic cleansing is based on whether the people being killed are pro-LGBT or not.

      I support the people of North Korea and the Uighurs against their oppressors regardless of whether they’re homophobes or not.

      Yes, they are not very supportive of lgbtqi+ rights, we should kill the children.
