Starling speaks about Moore (Video still via AL.com)

Drag queen Ambrosia Starling is proving to be an effective and consistent voice against the anti-gay marriage forces of her home state, Alabama.

Chief Justice Roy Moore, asked to ID his greatest foe, named Starling; he's now booted from the bench for the time being, which she's still standing.

The Guardian reports:

“This is the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave’,” Starling said. “But right now there are people who are free, and others who are brave. I believe we can all be free.”

Starling prefers “she” and speaks with the soft, rounded vowels of someone raised in the wiregrass of south-east Alabama. Her harshest words come when talking about Moore’s professed Christianity. He was removed from the bench once before, in 2003, for refusing the US supreme court’s order to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom.

“He shoves hate and fear into God’s mouth,” Starling said. “He puts the devil’s words on God’s tongue. Very rarely am I met with rudeness or unkindness when I go buy panty hose and I’ve got a beard going, or I go in the Christian donation store to pick out a dress. These people are not as hateful and spiteful as the politicians are pushing them to be.”

Viva drag!
