Teri Yaki

A hard woman is good to find, and we simply love Chicago drag queen Teri Yaki who used to identify as straight and now works as one of Chicago’s most popular drag queens. How has life changed for this outrageous girl from Detroit?

Teri Yaki is serving up a sweet and savory plate of funny as we talk about her scandalous past and what it takes to get get kicked out of a club.

Join us as we dish on RuPaul’s Drag Race, medical marijuana and the big news of the day-

The US military is defying their own ban on gays and lesbians by calling back to drill duty openly Gay rights advocate Lt. Dan Choi. Is Don’t As Don’t tell finally over?
Correction:

Lt. Choi has NOT been ordered back to active duty. It would be difficult to order him “back” to active duty, being that he serves in the New York National Guard, not on active duty, unless he had been mobilized. What has happened is that, with the support of his command, Lt. Choi drilled with his National Guard unit this past weekend for training on critical infantry tasks with his Soldiers.
