Yay!!!! Some good ones!!!! Drag every where. Just like Bernadette Bassenger said in Priscilla...."Believe me, Bob, these days gentlemen are an endangered species. Unlike us bloody drag queens who just keep breeding like rabbits.
Yes!! The 'sudden' discovery of Drag by conservatives is tied directly to their war agains Trans people (especially Trans women). Drag sees gender as a joke and you know that Evilgelicals live for their rigid gender roles...
Love all of these. Also, yes, THOSE are the men in dresses who are dangerous!
I will never be creative enough and extrovert enough to do drag. But I do have my drag name, Filomena, but that's another story: https://reluctantrebel.blogspot.com/2022/11/finally-discovering-my-drag-personna.html
Oh, that picture of British troops in drag during WWII is priceless! Now, didn't Winston Churchill say something about having nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and glitter?
Oh, the NSA is going to be thrilled when they find all these "Can angels be gay?" entries in my search history. (Although they are referred to via masculine pronouns in the Bible, God made them before people, which is when he innovated with "men" and "women". Thus angels are neither? But animals also have male and female, and they were made before people too? I think I am not sophisticated enough to understand Christian theology.)
Drag is also wearing a business suit to work every day when it's just not you. Drag is wearing high heels when you don’t like them. Dra is wearing a dress when you'd rather wear cargo pants. Drag is removing your visible piercings and covering up your tattoos before you go to work... or to family gatherings. Drag should be for joy. Beware homophobes in robes.
Now I'm in the mood to put on the movie "The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert". I acquired it to watch with the kids when they were young. I was kind of worried about the effect the scary part in the middle would have on them, but my children survived it okay.
Angels are most definitely gay. I suspect Jesus was the elader of a gay cult too: he chose twelve men and asked them to leave their wives. He even had a favourite disciple.
@ Old Lurker -- I believe serious theologians theorize that angels are androgynous beings, neither male nor female, being beyond such human concepts as sex/gender. However, patriarchal popular religious culture usually genders them as male.
Ha - love the one about the children and the drag queens. I have wrangled 22 youngsters at story time before and believe me, it is a dangerous undertaking.
We lost a legend in Portland this spring. Darcelle, oldest drag queen performer according to the folks at Guinness, hung up her heels and boas at age 92 after an epic career. She will be missed!
That British WWII artillery photo made me LOL! It reminded me of the first draft of Winston Churchill's speech....
"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight in the fields and in the hills. We shall fight in the gay pubs, in the drag queen revues and in the streets. We shall never surrender!"
Oh how I love drag queens, divas and queens. I have a lot to thank them for, teaching me femininity (not much room for that in a sword wielding hard workin Viking society).
Drag was a feature of our Saturday evening entertainment growing up. With Danny LaRue, Hinge & Bracket and more recently Lily Savage. Nobody batted an eyelid.

So much displaced fear and insecurity.

Drag is also fun and joy and love and laughter and those are things we all could use.
Great collection.
Yes!!

Every one a gem!

Like Mama Rue says ... "We're born naked, the rest is drag".
My favorite is the quora bit, drag queens at risk:) Too funny.
I don't understand all the bullshit about drag queens. My only problem with drag queens is that they always look better than me dammit.
Love these!! bobbie
Soldiers in combat in drag is perfect!
I so agree with the statement about the cardinals or bishops, whatever they are! That has been my experience!

Hear! Hear! And, sadly, kids are probably safer at a drag show than at a school.
It is all to do with religion. Bigotry breeds there.
the Ol'Buzzard
I'm definitely not worried about drag queens around children.
If they're going to ban them then they'll have to ban the churches
@ Frank -- I remember that post of yours! I hope you're getting your drag look together for your debut!
@ Kirk -- You're close -- Churchill said "blood, sweat, tears and glitter." (Your comment made me laugh, LOL!)
@ Old Lurker -- I believe serious theologians theorize that angels are androgynous beings, neither male nor female, being beyond such human concepts as sex/gender. However, patriarchal popular religious culture usually genders them as male.
@ Moving with Mitchell -- You're absolutely right!
You are truly spot on!
The best for me, the British soldiers manning the big gun in the midst of their drag show!
The Woke Meme got me!
Ha - love the one about the children and the drag queens. I have wrangled 22 youngsters at story time before and believe me, it is a dangerous undertaking.
You know at least one of those eight guys is a diddler.
May nobody who's fabulous get hurt by children. Keep them away from drag queens. Haha.
Stay proud, friend.
The last one is wonderful and a good reminder that drag has survived a lot more than a few bigots.

Long live drag!
Fabulous.
Thanks, Debra.
So much shortsightedness and narrowmindedness.

@ Tundra Bunny -- Hahahahahaha, you are MY kind of historian!
Some goodies there..also some Oops11 Cardinals and Bishops etc..Funny..
you always find the best ones.

I guess soon drag will be completely outlawed
Oh, this one is fabulous! One of your best so far.
I love the last meme so much!
