Drew Carey Has a Cross-Dressing Brother Who Just Might Be Trans

We finally did it! We not only found the perfect guest for this episode — writer, performer and UCB alum Joan Ford — but we also got the chance to tell the world that The Drew Carey Show deserves to live it. It’s not only the most successful Friends clone but also the only one that sustained a whole series about working class young people. And in its third season, it introduced Drew’s brother Steve (John Caroll Lynch) who is a cross-dresser who might just be a transwoman. What’s more, the show pairs Steve off with Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney), who is dragtastic and deserving of queer icon status in her own right.
Comments
"Parting Glances" (the '86 film with Kathy Kinney) is definitely worth watching. It's actually not dark or melodramatic at all; unlike the AIDS movies that came later, Parting Glances was clearly made for gay people, who didn't need to be told about what AIDS was and why it was horrible. I've watched it more times than I can count; highly recommended!
