This has to be....
...the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

I didn't find it creepy at ALL. I pretty much laughed thru the whole thing, it was just ludicrous. And casting women as drag queens is...beyond offensive. I can only think the director did that so that it might appeal to straight men who have a drag queen kink.
But still, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Oh, there are plenty of actors that will make out with a queen if the part requires it. I think the director used women because she lazy (or they are friends of hers) and/or like I said before, to appeal to straight guys with a trannie kink.
Who knows. The thing I find fascinating is that she actually got backing for this piece of sh*t.
DB is usually good in whatever he does...he must really need money. Bad.
Making out (kissing/sex scenes) are just one thing that as an actor (male or female) you are sometimes required to do. Using real women to play drag queens isn't really offensive, just stupid and lazy. If an actor doesn't want to kiss someone of the same sex, they can opt not to (it might cost them the part, but that's show-biz). Many heterosexual PEOPLE (non actors) couldn't think of making out with someone of the same sex, because it has no direct relation to anything that they do (usually) in their real life. Actors, while working are ACTING -PLAYING A PART- so they don't have to be attracted to the person that they are kissing, not like they would be while not working. Many people do things in their careers that they wouldn't do while not working (you could call ethics into it if you care to get on that bent). I know I have pretended to like other doctors who were above me professionally, but wouldn't offer them a ride if I drove past them (and they didn't recognize me) while they were stranded and hurt on a desolate road in the middle of the night in a blizzard or torrential rain (maybe my hipocratic oath would make me stop if I saw they were hurt - maybe). We all (mostly) wear many faces, depending on who we are with/around. In regard to the actors kissing a woman (instead of casting correctly like in "Orange is the New Black") pretending to be a drag queen or male-to-female transsexual, I wonder if the director thought her audience wouldn't want to see it, rather than thinking the actors wouldn't do the scenes. Perhaps she is prejudice (or uncomfortable) against the LBGT community, and it was easier for her psychologically to direct a man kissing a woman (pretending to be a man). Maybe it has nothing to do with anything like that. In traditional Japanese theater females are still played by male actors (the four kinds are: Noh, Kabuki, Kyogen and Buntaku). The same was done during many different eras, in many different cultures (Greek, Roman, British - i.e. Shakespeare's plays had both male actors playing the titular roles in "Romeo and Juliet" with the same amount of physicality as in modern female and male performers).
