    Wil,
    It was great meeting you at the Annual Meeting in Chicago! I just looked up your site and found this great piece on drag. Love it and we clearly have shared love of RuPaul.

    I’ll be in touch to talk about drag and the Bible more formally, but thought I should at least say “hi!”

    Dr. Gafney, thank you for sharing these words of wisdom. I encourage you to turn this into a monograph (along with the other projects in your writing schedule) because it is greatly needed and would be greatly appreciated by those of us playing catch up to you on our academic and ministerial (and academic-ministerial) journeys. Continued blessings to you!
