We’re not sure where GLBT Dallas got ahold of this video, but we hear it’s actually been floating around YouTube for some time. Anyhow, it’s a segment that was put together by The Dallas Morning News a few years back, about Jenna Skyy, aka Joe Hoselton.
The video was slated to be part of a DMN project about drag queens in Dallas — artists who are leaders in their community — but for some strange reason the series was abruptly canned by editors.
Hoselton, who’s drag persona was not yet a household name at the time, told us a few minutes ago that he felt the video was “good and thoughtful” and “came from a good place with the journalist,” but it “sucked that DMN never ran it.”
When we asked why the newspaper canned the project, Hoselton said, “[Because] it was about them homosexuals and their immorality. … They didn’t feel it was family friendly. The journalist told me.”
Can you imagine?

To bad……Joe is a nice guy and a great entertainer. DMN is far more concerned with Jeebus and Football.
Hmmm – “about them homosexuals and their immorality. … They didn’t feel it was family friendly.” Sounds like a WILD generalization.
And the term “family friendly” – really? I don’t know a single homosexual who doesn’t have a family (hm) that they value and usually the addition of an extended family that only adds to that value…. There are people in every community, even the heterosexual (gasp!), that are immoral.
AND, by the way, I LOVE Jenna Skyy and know her to be an amazing individual and the furthest thing from “immoral”. First hand information as opposed to…..
Yeah, right. Like they really said that. But your story makes great drama.
