Oscar winner thanks parents for not freaking out when he dressed in drag as a kid. Says drag is a threat to nobody.

Oscar winners for 'Best Director,' Daniel Scheinert (left) and Daniel Kwan (right).

With all that happened at the Oscars on Sunday night (no comment), I am a little miffed that the following moment didn't catch as much attention as it should have.  The motion picture  Everything Everywhere All At Once was the huge winner with seven wins, including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress and Best Picture. It also won Best Director for the duo of Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan. While accepting the award for Best Director, Scheinert snuck in this short but very valid comment about children and drag. It's a reminder of how the anti-drag hysteria perpetrated by conservatives and wannabe social media influencers is a lot nonsense over nothing.

“Specifically my mom and dad ... thank you for not squashing my creativity when I was ... dressing in drag as a kid, which is a threat to NOBODY.” - Daniel Scheinert, accepting the Best Director #Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All At Once”
