Yes, but there livelhood won't be impacted of there accounts are closed, unlike profession entertainers who don't want that chance. These specific entertainer have a grope of people who are ALWAYS trying to cause them problems, so getting reported to facebook is much more likely.

The undergo the procedure to become a woman.

Whats that, you're a man who like a women? You don't know what lesbian means, do you?

Oh, you were being 'funny'. It's ok I remember when I was in 6th grade.

Since it was a non apology that seems to complete miss the point, the posters bring up a good point.

It's about a Drag Queen aka a performer, using the stage name. Just like any other performer can do. ex: Sting. Not his real name,. but he gets to have a FB page for it.
Someone who make money as a performer can not change their name all the time.

It is. You notice their is a FB page for Sting. A stage name.

If you are a professional entertainer, then yes you can get a page for your performance personality.

He shouldn't.

"Anonymity is part of the Internet"
no, it's an option on the internet. Companies don't need to allow it.

Name one scare? Why are you banning flights for something that is this hard to spread? Why don't you want people with expertise and resource to fly in and help them?

"As with all virii,"
nothing you say about this virus, or other viruses is worth reading once you use 'Virii'

" are anti-retrovirals"

Everything has been about not freaking out an awareness.
What the hell is your problem? Syria is in the news everyday.

Gee, you have the facts from the media, and you are ready to fire someone?
You are either an ass, or someone who thinks the media has all the facts.

Informing the public isn't the same as creating panic.

People like you would have the whole world burning before deciding to tell people there is a fire.
