Gay Violence!!!

Nothing like a shrieking headline to get noticed, right?

And nothing like a screaming drag queen to attract attention, as well - except sometimes, it's not the kind one would enjoy. Walking down the street decked out in full flaming fabulousness is a gutsy thing to do for any man - gay or straight - as it tends to provoke either derision or worse, violence.

Of course, we've seen homophobic thugs get their come-uppance in movies:

But men in dresses only get to fight back in fluffy movie fantasies, right?

And often, not with manicured nails, but with barbed statements:



Well, I guess truth is stranger than fiction, after all.

Scrub to 1:15 when the smackdown begins.

The Daily Mail reports:

Two thugs who attacked what they thought were a pair of transvestites picked on the wrong men - when their intended victims turned out to be cage fighters on a night out in fancy dress.

Dean Gardener, 19, and Jason Fender, 22, singled out the two men walking along a street in wigs, short skirts and high heels.

Bare-chested Gardener was caught on CCTV confronting one of the one of the men in a pink wig, black skirt and boob tube - then seen swinging a punch, a court heard.

But the other cage fighter, wearing a sparkling black dress and matching long wig, sprang to his friend's help, delivering two lightning-quick punches to the two stunned yobs.

The cage fighters were then seen teetering away in their high heels, stopping only to pick up a clutch bag they dropped during the melee.

Gardener and Fender were left dazed and seen staggering to their feet after their failed attack.

Mark Davies, defending, said: 'You know it cannot have been a good night when you get into a fight with two cross-dressing men.

Both Gardener and Fender, from Bonymaen, Swansea, pleaded guilty to using abusive words and behaviour.

The pair were sentenced to a four-month community order, were electronically tagged and placed under a curfew between 7pm to 7am

So while it wasn't exactly a gay victory, nevertheless, let this be a lesson to all drunken, fag-bashing fools: that fabulous femme can be fatale.

And yes - she-devils wear Prada.

Now this, Tyra, is what it means to be fierce.
