transThe implication of the PETA attack ad is pretty interesting.

Now I know this forum is not exactly the place to discuss "drag" but the implication here in the ad campaign is that a man dressing up and pretending to be a woman is the worst possible insult to hurl at this fur user. And it's a two-pronged assault because calling a woman a man is one of the worst put downs within the black community.
No surprise coming from Peta. But as someone who has many animal activist friends, I've been told that PETA often sets back the clock on the public's perception and acceptance of the real issues behind animal cruelty.
