A group of angry activists is hoping "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 2 winner Tyra Sanchez will sashay away forever. They are calling on RuPaul to revoke her crown and title over comments she made via social media about suicide.
The controversy began when Sanchez tweeted "go kill yourself" to a Twitter user who called her "annoying." Sanchez's comment was met with harsh criticism via social media, given the high suicide rate among LGBT teens.
She responded to her critics by tweeting "hate it or love it I have no sympathy for people that commit suicide. They're cowards. They give up & give in. Stop tweeting me about it."
Matters have since escalated, prompting an online petition with over 600 signers from around the world calling for RuPaul to revoke Sanchez' crown and title. Full story here!
