Drag Queens

[Counselor]

Just to clarify things, if a trans person is dressing a certain way to "pass" as their gender identity, then they are not doing drag.

Excellent point.

From what I understand, drag queens are characters, just stage personalities. A transvestite wears clothing of the opposite sex, but may not have a sexual orientation of gay, like Eddie Izzard.

By that logic, there can be straight drag queens, but I think they are probably exceedingly rare.

Way to go with the tolerance thing.

Don't we get enough of this sort of hate and bigotry from outside the community?

Your post comes across as extremely disrespectful and is very offensive.

The offending user also has a offensive screen name. At least it is offensive in the USA.

I don't love or hate them...I actually view them as kinda like a clown LOL .. which is just not my thing.

I've never seen a drag show & even if I wanted to (which i don't) I'd have no idea where to go for it. but I'd assume a gay bar or club?

We are not like that here in Gayspeak, we are supportive and embrace our differences, so I would urge you to learn tolerance QUICKLY or reconsider your membership here as this one comment will have alienated you to approximately 99.9% of us.

Yes, the response was a bit gruff, but I did ask for whether people liked DQ's or not.

I would like to know why they feel this way, if they would care to explain.

I like drag, but only as an artistic outlet, nothing more.

I dont want to be a woman, I dont want female implants.
I dont want to "feminize" myself.

I have been out in drag a few times in my life, and its been fun. Actually, if I go out looking like I do everyday.....I could be on fire and nobody would notice me.
But when I go out in drag, EVERYBODY wants to talk to me, be my friend for the night, and hang around me!!! I even had one guy come up and say "I LOOOOVE your look so much, would you be my mother for the night"? I said "Sure sweetie, now isnt it past your bedtime"? LOL

I havent been out in drag in years, but I think I will do it again soon. I just need a new outfit. Dont know if I want another mini dress or a pants suit. Hmmmmmm

Oh well. Id have to buy some new shoes anyway...and I cant afford any right now. Bummer.
LOL


Its fun to be somebody else for a night. Try it sometimes.

Drag Queens are bloody brilliant.
I personally enjoy being within their company (sometimes...Depending on the situation) but its just a way for them to express another side of who they are.
The majority of drag queens I know, when their just dressed as a normal man are very quite, shy and very easy to manipulate, but once they transform the outside image the inside often turns into a totally different person their self esteem goes through the roof, their fun and full of laughter and just generally liven the place up a lot.
I give these girls a huge amount of respect, what they do takes courage and I know I for one wouldn't have the balls to do what they do on a weekly basis.
They will always have my respect regardless of the situation.

Trannies, drag queens.. disgusting.

Grow up. Every one has the right to be who they want to be. Your gay and that's not disgusting so neither is being a transsexual or a drag queen.
