    • Quotes

      Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a Transsexual.

      Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez: I know that.

      Noxeema Jackson: When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen.

      Vida Boheme: Thank you.

      Noxeema Jackson: And when a tired little Latin boy puts on a dress, he is simply a boy in a dress!

    R.I.P Patrick Swayze & Robin Williams
    Every one should watch this. Absolutely amazing movie. Patrick Swayze is so beautiful. Some of the best and most quotable lines! WILDLY underrated and not talked about enough. Love love love.
